      Oops. I bet all the heatsink mounting screws under the PCB are loose, too. Common problem with these bigger CWT based units. I keep some red threadlocker on hand for all the CWT based review units I intend to sell afterwards

          i will be checking that when i change that cap.
          at least it does not have all that tan glue dumped on everything.
          as for looose hardware they have to have some flaw to make it go bang!

              Thermaltake TR2 Bronze 600w low 12v voltage
              by AresROC
              https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NW6W2C8

              I have a Thermaltake TR2 80+ Bronze that's been doing strange things. It would cause the computer to shot down randomly, and measures low voltage on the 12 volt rail. From 11.5 to 11volt.

              I put it on the bench with a harddrive as load, and it outputs fine with low load:
              5v - 5.17v
              12v - 12.17v

              It has all Japanese caps, but only 1 large cap for the Input supply. No obvious signs of overheating burns or bulge. Anyone know where I should start to troubleshoot? I guess I don't want to just start by replacing...

              Thermaltake TR2 750W -fixed 5v stby now +5v reads low and no 12v
              by rodd
              Dear all,
              I am trying to repair the ATX power supply.
              First I fixed the +5V stby, which was zero due to a shorted TNY279 and an open 2R2 resistor.

              Just in case I replaced the PWM control IC (PS223) and the PFC control IC (CM6800).

              Now the supply turns on, the +3.3V is fine, but the +5V measures only 2.5V and there is no +12V.

              I have checked every diode I could find with a DMM (in circuit) and all the capacitors (in circuit) no shorts, low ESR.
              In despair I removed the low voltage diodes which were all mounted on the same heatsink...

              Thermaltake ATX TR2-430 Turns on by itself, squeals, & has 0.9V on +5VSB
              by delturcious
              I have an older Thermaltake PSU that has a squealing noise whenever it's plugged in, even when totally disconnected from everything else. It automatically powers on the 5V and 12V rails with full voltage, but the +5VSB circuit only has 0.9V on it. I would assume this is my first place to start troubleshooting?

              There is nothing obviously burnt/leaking that I can identify.

              I've tried to take some decent photos of the 5VSB area. Components of notes:
              • U8 at the back is marked AZ431
              • C38 is 102
              • C47 is 104
              • C34 is a Teapo 330uF 16V (I think all the cylindrical caps are

              Ultra low ESR. Much confusion!
              by keldeo
              Hi badcaps! So recently, me being a butterfingers, resulted in me dropping a graphics card and having the corner land directly onto a capacitor directly above the pcie slot on my Asus p5gc 775 board. Now this caused a pretty decent dent in the top of the can, so I've decided it'd ve best to replace it. However, I've ran into an issue. The current caps are Panasonic FJS, 820μf 6.3v. These are apparently "ultra low ESR" and these aren't manufactured anymore. So it seems I'm left with a few options. Put the dented cap back in, apparently it's ESR is 0.24 ohms, but the capacitance is...

              RAM : 16GB PC4-19200 (8GB x 2)
              STOR : 256GB M.2 SSD + 1TB HDD

              Motherboard : Compal LA-D753P Rev 1.0

              Problem : The laptop runs fine with most things, even GPU/CPU stress tests seem to run without problems for extended periods of time. BUT...
