Be sure to tell them about capacitors being important.

Re: Take the Corsair PSU survey!
When it comes to Corsair, I always trust them to use top quality caps anyways. But it's ok to remind them not to consider cutting costs in the future.Comment

Hello everyone,
I'm encountering a frustrating issue with my Corsair SFX 450 power supply. After an undefined period of operation, my PC will either suddenly restart or, in some cases, it won't start at all until I disconnect the power cable and reconnect it. This erratic behavior occurs intermittently, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact conditions under which it happens.
For context, I have tested the PSU using an electronic load at 150W, and under those controlled conditions, it functions flawlessly. This leads me to... -
The power supply is 2020 Corsair HX1200 modular power supply.
Cause of damage: I connected EVGA molex cable to the Sata port and test it with a ATX tester. Since the pin out on the EVGA is wrong, result in the 12V pin shorted to the 5V pin, in the 12V back-feeded to the 5v port.
Damage: Power supply shorted out, shut off itself internally, damaged the 5v or 3v rail or the monitoring circuitry. The self protection circuit shut off the power supply when power up because it detected some abnormal/defect. I waited a few minutes, let it self reset then try to re power up.... -
I have this Corsair VS450 PSU which lies dead and has an exploded TNY chip. Upon removing primary side parts like mosfets, the bulk cap and the bridge rectifier I've found that the primary cap is also a goner. (Photos)
The mosfets and the diode are fine and survived the collapse it seems. The TNY chip is shattered and from the online review/sources it was probably a TNY176~177.... -
What is important to know about capacitors on the motherboard?
If you replace a new capacitor:
Can the size of the capacitor be larger or smaller than the original?
What values are important to be exactly the same as the original uf, a, v, ohm?
I mean laptop and smartphone motherboards. -
Hey there guys. I've got a Corsair power supply that's come across my bench dead. I usually don't mess with power supplies, but it's a slow week so I'm giving it a whirl.
Taking it apart I heard a screw rattling around inside, and when I got it apart I found a couple blown components near what I think is the 5VSB area.
There's a 22ohm resistor that's melted and open, but it still has the bands.
The other part is a zener diode and it's top went to jesus, so I can't read the marking.
It looks like the diode connects the source and drain of a TNY284...
