Forum Rules *ALL NEW MEMBERS, PLEASE READ!! UPDATED!!*

First and foremost, Welcome to the Badcaps Capacitor Search Engine & Forums!

New members that have activated their accounts have limited access to certain features of the site until established. Members with zero posts have no access to the private messaging system. Also, members with zero posts may not edit certain profile attributes, such as signatures. New members also may not create new threads. However, new members with zero posts have full access to all technical information contained on this forum, and that also includes attachments (images and files that other members have uploaded), and new members that have activated their accounts are free to post replies to existing threads. If you wish to create a new thread, the fix is simple! All you need is ONE post to be able to have full unrestricted access, and that can be simply posting an introduction of yourself or say hello in THIS THREAD. This may seem a little strange, but it helps keep spam and abuse curved. Please note, that it may take up to one hour from your first post for the limits to be removed. If you make a post and don't immediately see the restrictions gone, be patient. The promotion system updates every hour.

Please complete your profile after making your first post, with your name, locale, and other info. It's nice to know members on a first name basis, and know where they're from. Makes for a much friendlier environment!

Posting rules for this forum will be STRICTLY enforced by myself as the owner/administrator, and my moderator crew.

Badcaps.net IS A BUSINESS!!! If you are a servicer, service center, or vendor of any kind in the computer/capacitor industry, you are NOT permitted to advertise, link, promote, or plug your business on this forum in ANY way! NO EXCEPTIONS!! This includes asking for "donations" in exchange for BIOS passwords or tech advice for anything! If I see you doing that, your post will be edited or deleted, and you warned. If it happens again, you will be banned. The only exceptions are the references to the companies quoted in the FAQ which the administration have added for the convenience of those around the world who have difficulty to source caps for their repair.

This also includes using this forum's private message system to solicit business. Members, if you receive a PM from anyone offering repair services or components, please alert me immediately! Myself or any of my moderators, will never private message a user soliciting business, for Badcaps.net, or any other servicer/vendor. If you PM me about repairing your device, I will reply and take care of you, however, I will not message you first.

------------------------------------

Posting rules:

This forum was created to be a technical support forum primarily for the do-it-yourselfers who choose to repair their own boards. Any and all technical questions are welcome!

1) Please use the SEARCH feature!! Your question may have been answered in another thread! Please search first and see if it has!

2) When posting a technical question, be as detailed as possible in your thread. The more information we have about your specific problem, the better we can answer your question.

3) Please use COMPLETE sentences, punctuation, and grammar! Nobody is perfect, hence, a spelling error on occasion is no biggie. However, posts/threads that are unreadable will be deleted. This includes any and all forms of 'ebonics', leet, chatroom jargon, and 'text message' shorthand and slang. This forum is not a chatroom/text message, please use full words and complete sentences.

4) Keep discussion on topic!! DO NOT HIJACK THREADS! It's easy to do (I've done it myself a few times...) Lets try to keep it down to a minimal!! If you have something really off topic, that's what the lounge is for!

5) Keep things civil! There will be no tolerance for flaming, bashing, hateful remarks, racial remarks, adult material of ANY kind, and so on.

6) THE LOUNGE RULES! The lounge is a place for off topic chit-chat! If you post something that might be considered questionable or something you don't want kids to see, or something you can't view at work/school, etc, please label that thread *NWS* or NOT WORK SAFE in the thread title as a warning. The Lounge is NOT moderated, anything is welcome... Feel free to post rants, jokes, cars, hot women (remember the NWS warning in the title), or just about anything within reason. It's an open forum! Please refrain from participating in political topics if you have thin skin, they can get heated sometimes!! Remember that we have members here from all over the world, with many different views and cultures. Political debates can turn really ugly, and really fast, and if they degrade to personal attacks and useless banter/bashing, moderator action will ensue. I want this forum to be a safe haven for technical discussions from all walks of life, so lets keep off topic discussions civil and friendly.

7) Spamming and spammers will NOT be tolerated or accepted in any way, shape, or form! Spam bots are instantly and permanently banned, and their threads deleted! The mod crew is really quick to zap spammers, we typically pop them before they even get to post. This also includes regular members as well. be courteous and not post spam. This includes links to off-site information that's not relevant to the thread at hand. Do not plug other websites, forums, or businesses in your signatures. You may do so in a thread if the off-site link you're posting is relevant to the topic, but otherwise, don't do it. If you see a thread which clearly a spam bot posting that we have not removed yet, DO NOT click any links in it!! Simply click the 'report bad post' button, and it'll be taken care of, usually within minutes.

8) Account removals & closures: Since no personal information is given in the creation of your Badcaps.net Forum account, requests to remove and/or delete accounts will be declined. Any requests for removal of threads & posts you created will also be declined. The reason is the missing posts can/will leave threads incomplete and fragmented. For the threads to be of help to others later on, information can't and won't be missing. However, if you inadvertently posted personal identifiable information in a post (such as an email address, real name, or phone number), please contact a staff member. In those cases, the post may be edited or removed, at the staff members discretion.

That's about it for the rules, the setup here is pretty loose. However, if you're caught violating any of the rules above, here's what will happen:

First offense: Warning by me or a moderator
Second offense: Banning for 1 day
Third offense: Banning for 3 days
Fourth offense: Banned permanently.

If you do something really dumb, or are just a troll, I will skip the warning and the temporary banning, and ban you permanently!

The rules are pretty cut and dry... However, if you have any questions about this policy, feel free to contact me.

    Seasonic S-12 330 Rev. A1

    Hello.

    One of my older builds came in for upgrades. It's been running a Seasonic S-12 330 PSU since 2005 so I though maybe it would be a good idea to look around inside the PSU.

    All of the caps are UCC KZE series except for the Hitachi? primary and 1 or 2 small Rubycons. None are vented and all have good ESR of .02-.03

    Running it on the KeriProductions ATX338 Load tester revealed stable voltages and decent 12v Ripple of 60mv at about 330w total (full load)

    The fan barely ramped up even after 15 minutes at this load and voltages/ripple remained OK with only warm exhaust air from the PSU. (The Load Tester was blowing hot)

    It went back in the system.

      Delta DPS-400RB

      400W for gateway, 120mm temperature controlled yate loon.

      Non-APFC, group regulation. Capxon primaries, Ltec, taicon, and capxon secondaries, decent sized heatsinks, big enough coils, good full transient filter. But definitely nothing spectacular like I would expect from delta.

      Good range of connectors, 24pin motherboard (non-detachable), 4 pin cpu, 6 pin pci-e, 5 sata power, 2 molex, 1 floppy

      All the sata connectors have these nice little black protectors over them. Good because the sata power connector is a edge connector, and could short in your case if they eat a corner of the hard drive bays or some random metal flange.

        Rosewill Stallion series RD500-2SB

        One of the best built solytechs I have ever seen. Pretty good input filter, all YC caps (they're everywhere!) Good sized heatsinks, Non-APFC, group regulation, 120mm Globe fan temperature controlled.

        You get a good range of connectors, if not lacking sata power connectors, 24 pin (detachable), 8pin+4pin cpu connector, 2 sata connectors, 6 molex, 2 floppy, 2 6pin pci-e.

        All cables are sleeved and the sleeving goes all the way into the psu's case.

            Re: Power supply build quality pictorial. part 2

            i was cleaning out my closet when i found this old agi (hipro) 235w power supply:



            it came from an old proteva with amd k6-2 350mhz, noname mobo, and lots of other shitty parts. obviously came from a chain smoker:



            see all the nicotine?

            also, notice the second plug in foreground. this was made when at and atx were both in production.

            wimpy heatsinks:



            rubycon primary caps:



            decent amount of secondary caps (sorry this is the last pic- my camera batteries died and im out of aaa's):



            more secondaries on board (total of 10 ones with vents , one of those is tiny (dia 4mm))

            secondary caps su'scon

            no thin wiring

            i eventually put the guts in a bestec box, which will soon be home to a hipro-made 250w board with far nicer heatsinks, etc.

                      Dynex (Huntkey) are not that bad, definitely not like the dirt-cheap generic PSUs, but they're still overrated and overpriced (look it up on Hardwaresecrets.com). Should be good for about 300 watts continuous. But don't go over 350 watts if you don't want to blow up the primary switchers.

                        Dynex power supplies (Huntkey) are good quality, a step above gutless wonder power supplies, but the price that Best Buy and Future Shop (in Canada) sell them for is too much in my opinion.

                              The Dynex 400W power supply can deliver up to 437.5W of power at 48.6 degrees Celsius, tested by Hardware Secrets. Since you have the 500W model, I'm assuming that your power supply can deliver at least a little more power than the 400W.

                              Judging from your computer specifications, I would say that the Dynex 500W power supply in your computer is perfectly fine. Dynex power supplies (Huntkey made) are good.
