Re: rubycon mcz

They are unused old stock. Sounds like they belong in the trash. I will do my shopping here. Have a dell psu and mb to refit. Thanks for your advice.

Hello Everyone. I have a question about old capacitors. They are about 10 years old and been setting in the garage. Below freezing in the winter and 120 f+ in the summer. They are rubycon mcz 6.3v 820 uf. They measure about 720 uf with esr of .03 at 120 hz. Should I trust them or pitch them?

Re: The GOOD Capacitors Thread!!

Hi all. I have a dead 'EVGA X58' motherboard filled with United Chemi-Con PSK series caps and wanted to know if they are reliable. They all look good, no leakage or swelling. Thanks for any help. Dave.

Hi Everyone. My name is Dave and I am excited to find this forum. I started in electronics in the Marine's in the early 70's (giving away my age). I repaired field use telephones, teletype machines, setup generators and electric lines in field bases and repaired encryption devices (early computers).
My first computer was a radio shack color computer (loved that machine) and I learned to do some programming on it, including basic and assembler and machine code. I switched over to DOS/WINDOWS systems in late 80's....
