Re: W241D (W240D) flickering Problem
and you might want to add some form of heatsinks to that as well...
I myself haven't used the W241D much in recent years.
Just because I got better, more modern Options...

Re: W241D (W240D) flickering Problem
Use through hole Caps and bend the legs, solder them.
I did that with mine and "accedentally" used Polymer Caps.
Might be worth a try....Leave a comment:

Re: 10 year old Cooler Master RS-850-EMBA
Storage is actually worse for caps than no use.
What you should do is look in your parts bin for lower powered stuff that you do not care about. Like some Office Core 2 Duo shit or an Atom Board. Something like that.
Important: it should be 12V Heavy.
Put that on, run the PSU for an hour or two with **LOW LOAD** and don't get too far away to see what happened.
After that you look at it again...Leave a comment:

Re: Troubleshooting 2xFailed Cooler Master v650 PSUs
Not really...
You need to start measrunging...
Try looking for shorts.
Polymer caps fail that way for example...Leave a comment:

Re: DELL OEM H240AS-00 (HIPRO) ~ major blow up!
Those are "GP for PSU", not Low ESR ones...
But yeah, the KM in my "300W IT" thingy looked fine, the Canicon did not...
Maybe because cheapass PSU tend to use CapXon and/or mistreat them??
Though in recent years I have hardly seen any PSU with CapXon Caps at all, only Teapo in consumer units and in some cases SamXon and Chin San.
But at the same time, with modern PSU I haven't seen something that looks like Cap Failure in a very long time - even with Teapo....Last edited by Stefan Payne; 10-29-2019, 02:24 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Win7 disk utilization
Get an Original DVD File from Microsoft. You can download it somewhere (or at least you could), need a valid key though. And make a fresh install.
Anyway, something happened with the NT6 kernel and the stuff based on that that caused the size of Windows to explode.
For Windows NT5 based OS I had like 4GiB Partitions.
Anyway, my Windows is 18,8 GiB, 12 on Disk for my Surfin Installation.
21,1GiB with 14,4GiB on Disk.
You might be able to compress some folders and later Windows Versions (10)...Leave a comment:

Re: Power supply build quality pictorial. part 2
And its a rather late part, end of 2007, so it should be fine and not have the "Material Issue". That's something that happened with this plattform in the 2005/2006 time frame.
And I doubt there are any left. At least lower wattage ones.Leave a comment:

Re: First Timer - Mystery capacitor identification
Can you get 12,5mm diametre caps in that position or is it too cramped there?
If so -> 16V/3300uF Pana FM. Those are perfect replacemens for the 6,3V/3300uF
It might be that those are just there because of capacity, so a 6,3V/3300uF Pana FM might be fine as well...
For the big 1500(?)uF/10V (or was it just 1000uF??), I'd use a "shitty" Polymer such as Kemet A750, for example:

Re: RAID5 failure: 2 bad HDD's at the same time
RAID protects against drive failures, kinda...
But you need to know the disadvantages or the effect it has on the other drives!
For example, if you have a 4 drive RAID5 and one drive fails, you can still work.
But if you have 4 identical drives, chances are the other 3 are also on their last legs and will die soon as well. As the Wear and Tear on all drives is similar...
So you need to update your backup ASAP, get 4 new drives (or if its older, you might be able to get 2 and go for RAID1 or 3...Leave a comment:

Re: RAID5 failure: 2 bad HDD's at the same time
Well, it also, in theory, should help against one drive failures.
The Problem is that if one drive fails, another one shortly follows...
And you have to know the advantages and disadvantages of RAID and the RAID Levels. And that if you have a 4 Drive RAID5 with 4 drives of the same type, the wear might be similar on all of them, so they might fail in short succession.
But RAID is _NEVER_ a backup. And must not be seen as such...
Well, RAID1 maybe, kinda......Leave a comment:

Re: This is Why You NEVER Ignore Bad Capacitors!
1) the Pics don't work (no more?)
2) In that case you could eventually try ramming in 12,5mm 16V/3300uF Panasonic FM. Those have similar or the same value than the Nichicon. Problem: they are way bigger. And the only caps, to my knowledge, that are widely available and can be used as replacement of Nippon Chemicon KZG and similar...
Though it needs some creativity as the caps are 25% bigger......Leave a comment:

Re: First Timer - Mystery capacitor identification
Isn't Pana FR too high Impedance?
And why not go with Polymers instead??
3300uF/6,3V are Polymer levels anyway and, out of my head, at around 12mOhm.
Decent Polymers are at 9mOhm. Why not go for those?
And they are cheaper as well......Leave a comment:

Re: RAID5 failure: 2 bad HDD's at the same time
Its worth a try.
You might want to clone the other HDDs as well or move them immediately over to a new RAID Array.
No, that should be written in the MBR or wherever it does that.
Anyway, rule of the thumb:
[b]If one Drive in a RAID Array dies, do not rebuild it, backup your data and move it over to another Array![/b]
Because when all are the same make/model, other drives failing is highly likely.Re: RAID5 failure: 2 bad HDD's at the same time...Leave a comment:
