    PSU with good caps only? any suggestion?

    Perhaps it is a silly question. But I really want to know if there is a specific brand, or even model, which only uses Japanese brand (or any other good brands) capacitors?

    Thanks in advance!

      Re: PSU with good caps only? any suggestion?

      First of all thanks for the reply. But this model Delta DPS-400MB-1A is not available from my local stores. I did a google search and found out Delta DPS-400MB-1A is an OEM PSU from delta for IBM. I can only find DPS-400TB/GB/AB in my place.

      I am tired of those low quality chinese capacitors. Nearly every malfunction PSU I saw had bulged caps -- such as those Jackcon/ S / Capxon -- after replace them some worked again, but some didn't.

      Even in Delta PSU there are bunches of Capxon. SPI/FSP uses Teapo, but from my experience Capxon is worse than Teapo.

      Any recommendations are welcome.

        Corsair "VX" series use all Japanese caps. They will cost you though.

        SPI/FSP uses Teapo, but from my experience Capxon is worse than Teapo.
        FSP "GLN" series is all Teapo. "THN" series is OST. And the Teapo FSPs are utter trash that will not last you for more than a year. I'll let you know how the THNs hold out I just replaced a GLN with a THN and I am waiting to see hwo long it lasts.

          Just about every single corsair product uses UCC caps. Antecs still have the few rubycons, UCC's, and Nichicons in their delta units. Antec's seasonics have all UCC, Enhance models have UCC and teapo.

          Even so, if you see teapo, you needn't pull out your hair, as teapo, ltec, and taicon seem to do pretty well in psu's as evidenced by delta and a multitude of other psu manufacturers.

              I have a Seasonic made Antec Earthwatts 380W. All it has is OST. I've replaced a few of them with pannies.
              I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

                  The cheaper 400w model seems to use OST caps.

                    My Antec EarthWatts 380w was full of OST and dead. It's now full of Panasonic and working fine.

                        Thanks all for your helpful opinions.

                        I did a search about Corsair VX series and it seems to have good reputation. Perhaps Corsair VX 450W is my only choice.

                        I know that some of Delta and Antec's products do have good caps. But many crappy Capxon/OST are being used in some of their products. I don't know which specific models of their products have Japanese caps only.

                            That's the first PSU that came to my mind when I read your thread. I didn't know how many watts you needed so I said "VX". The higher wattage Corsairs also have Japanese caps, not necessarily even VX, but the lower models, only the VX has Japanese caps.

                            It shouldn't cost you more than $110. Corsair is now releasing a new revision of the 450VX, so maybe it's worth waiting till these hit the shelves.

                            Also, there's a Corsair rep at the Jonnyguru forums. I think his name is redbeard.

                              Two of them, redbeard and yellowbeard. Redbeard does more of the PSU stuff and is around more, yellowbeard is hardly around and does more of the memory-half (at least from what I've seen)

                                One Antec with Fuckyous was enough, and for that price, they should be ashamed of themselves. I don't trust nothing but Corsair VX or HX series anymore.

                                  I have a CoolerMaster eXtreme Power 550W PSU in my main rig. It has all Samxon, except for a single Su'Scon. I can't remember what the primaries are. Either Samxon or Capxon.
