Re: PSU Main Capacitor replacement tips.

Thanks for your reply. I will wait with those and just change all other caps since some starts to be in critical condition and order the others next month.

I have an Cooler Master m1000 RS A00 ESBA Real power.

Some caps on the filtering side at the 12v 5v rail has started to bulge (The PSU is over 8 years old) so I am about to change every cap tomorrow. I will go for Panasonic for all (low esr and high ripple res)

But my two maincaps are 420v 270uf (m) are Nippon Chem-con and can't be found here in my store (Elfa). I was looking into 450v 270uf Panasonic but they cost a lot and are discontinued. Any suggestion what to replace them with ? (those cost around 13 euro each at Elfa in Sweden)

Best Regards...

Re: EMU 1820M not working properly

I have a Card Bus 1616 with the Breakout box and have got this Crack and pops & clicks for a while. Later it became worse but it doesn't show up right away. When it was at its worst I had to shut it down but trying turning it on just lit all the light and never went online again and it had to be off for like 20+ min. Then I could start it again.

I have replaced all in the power circuit except to yellow ones due I got the wrong voltage for some reason. So I have to order new ones but the question is, Should I even change these...
