Re: Modern Samxon and Teapo caps much better these days?
Ugh why do people buy those crap caps when Nichicon and other brands are far superior

Re: Thermaltake 450 lite with burnt/exploded 5vsb ic
Thermaltake PSU's are crap. I just bought the 600w for $17 out of curiosity and its full of CrapXon capacitors. It even has CrapXon as the main primary. So much for "high quality components"Leave a comment:

Re: Newegg selling fake caps
I got fake stuff from Newegg years ago. they were quick to give a refund. I posted a bad review and the seller went away. probably just changed their nameLeave a comment:

Re: New caps on motherboard hot
my advice is dump that motherboard. new motherboards don't cost a fortune and they all have polymersLeave a comment:

Re: Trying to repair a HP Z800 850W PSU by Delta
you are going to keep having intermittent failures. the junk caps screwed up a component somewhere. since it proprietary HP junk I would find another one and change the caps before plugging it up. I've worked with these type of PSU's before and the Cisco PSU's have all Nichicon caps. HP went the cheap junk route to make more moneyLeave a comment:

Re: Trying to repair a HP Z800 850W PSU by Delta
the problem is junk caps stresses other components and causes them to fail or have intermittent failures. I got in the habit of changing out junk caps when the PSU is brand new. I still have units I bought 5 years ago that are still going strongLeave a comment:

Re: Trying to repair a HP Z800 850W PSU by Delta
Wow a whole lot of junk crap capacitors. when you see Crapxon on the primary side that's bad news. I highly doubt any of those electrolytics were in spec brand new. you can go through the trouble of fixing but is it worth risking frying your motherboard and hard drive. that PSU is landfill readyLeave a comment:

Re: PSU worth replacing caps?
It looks like you just like having fun disagreeing with people and I could care less. It makes you look rather silly. You do your thing and I'll do mine. If you want to keep putting band aids on cheap junk psu's then that's your business. I've been in electronics longer than you've been born...Leave a comment:

Re: PSU worth replacing caps?
my rule of thumb is I only recap a psu that has never failed whether it be new or used. I've experienced the fizzle pops and fireworks of a psu with cheap junk caps that took out a motherboard with it. every psu I ever recapped has never failed so farLeave a comment:

Re: PSU worth replacing caps?
there also environmental factors. did the psu take a huge surge from the power company or a lightening strike? was a surge protector ever used? el cheapo surge protector? one good surge to a cheap psu will cook itLeave a comment:

Re: Delta Electronics GPS-350CN-100 need repair
I save the heatsinks for electronic projects not to scrap them for cash. a lot of new psu's don't even have heat sinks on the rectifiers...Leave a comment:

Re: PSU worth replacing caps?
not worth it. it has multiple cap failures which stresses other components. a cap can either fail open or become a huge resistor. those other components might be borderline on the verge of blowing. so you can spend money and caps and something else will fail down the line. once I see smoke the PSU goes in the dumpsterLeave a comment:

Re: What are the best capacitors? SANYO or Panasonic FM?
never buy capacitors off ebay. I bought a mechanical part once but was sent ten 10uF capacitors by mistake. all the capacitors tested 0 capacitance and 0 resistance.Leave a comment:

Re: Delta Electronics GPS-350CN-100 need repair
I yank out the heat sinks before tossing them. but thats about it.Leave a comment:

Re: Um, wow. Just, wow.
chinese knockoff. you gotta open it up and see what you're working with. I guarantee the caps will either be Capxon or a brand you never heard of. me personally I wouldn't trust it if I had a new motherboard. could be loaded with fake components and open circuit capsLeave a comment:
