Re: cheap but good thermal paste?
The grey stuff is carbon particles which is common in pastes. I don't bother about the contents, its not really important anymore.
AS5 is old and surpassed by many newer even cheap pastes out there like MX4, and its more difficult to spread and capacitative. But it has an advantage in that it does not 'pump out' as much due to its higher viscosity.
[URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrtkiBwQV-U"]Pump out[/URL] is a big problem especially for bare die cpus, gpus, laptops and to a lesser extent...

Re: Recap psu help needed
Its a quecoo t12-952, its a decent brand for this type of T12 stations.
There was an old thread about T12 soldering stations.

Re: Recap psu help needed
Is that the same with newer PC psu's (which are LLC, DC-DC) as well - no need for low esr for the big bulk cap?
There is still quite abit of space for height on the 680uf caps but not diameter. The big cap still has space for height and looks smaller compared to the silkscreen marking....Leave a comment:

quecoo t12-952 Recap psu help needed
Got a soldering station with an internal psu (mains to 24V) which need to be recapped because the caps are all the dodgy "Yungli" brand with no series markings.
The biggest cap at the bottom of the pic looks like a bulk cap (400V 33uF), the 2 caps at the top (35V 680uF), a small one just next to a heatsink on the left (50V 22uF), the 33uF and 680uF caps are marked with "low esr".
Problem is that I can't get any low esr series cap in stock to replace the 400V 33uF from the local Farnell, only general purpose series available. The only option which seems...Last edited by bord; 09-09-2021, 09:01 AM. -
PSU, motherboard recommendation
Btwn the 500/550W Hydro G and Leadex Silver, which would you recomnend? Is the Leadex Silver using the same design as the EVGA G2 since that is what its being compared to according to some posts.
Is a 3 phase cpu vrm (double to 6) alright for an 8 core cpu (light oc)? The Asrock [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/66puim/asrock_63_phase_am4_vrm_from_the_ab350m_pro_4/"]B350 Pro4[/URL] has a 'fake' 9 phase design so I'd like to know if the weaker voltage regulation compared 4 phase designs for other models is an issueBtwn the 500/550W Hydro G and Leadex Silver, which -
Re: Capacitor brand/type identification
After some leg work, I found out that blue ones were both Chemicon's.
And the Nichicon FPCAP S8 datasheet in the sticky thread is outdated. The correct S8 is .Leave a comment:

Capacitor brand/type identification
I need some help identifying these caps..
The markings on the blurry dark red one is FP 16Ah 971 16.
The rating on the SY105 A3 CC one is 1000uF 10V.
Would swapping out the primary capacitor (if its not a high quality Japanese cap) on an psu a few years old be a good idea or is the primary side not typically under heavy strain relative to the secondary side?... -
Hakko 936 wattage enough?
The older Hakko 936 actually uses a 50W heater element (888 is 65W) and I was wondering if the lower wattage will present a problem for desoldering/soldering the bigger connections on current motherboards. -
Re: Type of capacitors to use for psu?
You're right about newer psus since those 2 were older psus and the Antec wasn't even 80+.
I just read the there was [URL="http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1450&page=2"]discussion thread[/URL] I the article I posted above. I missed that the division marks on the graphs were 0.01v so a few hundredths off isn't going to have a practical difference. And one poster said that the new caps needed time to break in which could explain a few jittery up and down results. So I don't think it...Leave a comment:

Re: Type of capacitors to use for psu?
I wasn't purposely being cryptic but the web link was stripped out of my post and I can't edit my post possibly as a measure to reduce spam.
So I'll have to spell out the title of the article so you guys can google it - "Capacitors and the Computer PSU" by jonnyguru.

As you can see on page 4, the measured ripple of the recapped psu's became worse after replacing them with Chemicons KZE/KY. I do remember...Leave a comment:

Type of capacitors to use for psu?
I've read the FAQ/threads but came across this reviewer who recapped 2 psu's using Fuhjyyu and Capxons with chemicons KZE/KY but ended up with worse results.
Could it be that some psu's don't do well with low esr caps depending upon the design? -
