Re: Antec TruePower380 & the Fuhjyyu Syndrome
They are, sorry I misworded that sentence..
I have rubycons on the input side..

Re: Antec TruePower380 & the Fuhjyyu Syndrome
Another thing that troubles me is that every capacitor other than the Rubycon's on the input side are Fuhjyyu brand, it would be well worth it in my opinion to replace them all, most of them are nearby heatsinks...Leave a comment:

Re: Antec TruePower380 & the Fuhjyyu Syndrome
I thought it was lifetime at rated temperature /times/ how many 10 degrees centigrade you are taking off..
For example:
For a 105deg rated 2000 hour capacitor, you remove 65 degrees to run it at 40 degrees ambient, now that makes the multiplier 6.5 times, the originally rated lifetime at 105 degrees is 2000 hours, now you times that by 6.5 and you only get 13,000 hours, or roughly 1.5 years.

Re: Antec TruePower380 & the Fuhjyyu Syndrome
Hmm, 7000 hours at 105deg centigrade, times 7000 by 5, to give it an operating temperature of lets say, 65 degrees centigrade and you've got 4 years, run 'em cooler at 40 degrees and you've got 5.2 years.
Can you say 3 year warranty now?

Re: Antec TruePower380 & the Fuhjyyu Syndrome
I would recommend part number's P12347-ND and P12373-ND on digikey...
These are both 12.5mm in diameter..
4x Panasonic FM 4700uF 6.3v (7000 hours) for 5v and 3.3v bus..
2x Panasonic FM 3300uF 16v (7000 hours) for 12v bus..
You cannot fit 12.5mm capacitors in the Antec Truepower 380 near the mainboard, the DC cables aswell as a couple of chokes are in the road.Last edited by freax; 08-06-2006, 03:57 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: Antec TruePower380 & the Fuhjyyu Syndrome
I was going to whack a heap of Panasonic FM's in there on the advice from a friend in Germany, they're 12.5mm in diameter and I would have to raise them from the PCB, bunch 'em up with cable ties and then solder wires from them to the mainboard, insulating it all of course with heatshrink.
Theres one thing that I've noticed with these Fuhjyyu caps, that is that you cannot match the capacitance and diameter ratings of the original ones unless you sacrifice endurance and consequently give them...Leave a comment:

Re: Antec TruePower380 & the Fuhjyyu Syndrome
Yes, I just found my receipt and I had bought it in /early/ 2005, not 2003..
AFTER I had broken the warranty..
However Antec most likely would have not honoured the warranty because I had worked it almost constantly, although very mildly, the PC was idle during that time, even so, if it were still under warranty, the cost of shipment of the PSU would exceed the cost of replacement of capacitors.
Maybe thats a way people can get the manufacturer, CWT, to use better quality...Leave a comment:

Re: Antec TruePower380 & the Fuhjyyu Syndrome
Its been worked hard over the years and is over due for a recap but this would be my first recapping of a motherboard and I paid $150 for it 2-3 years ago (With CPU's/HS&F)...Leave a comment:

Re: Antec TruePower380 & the Fuhjyyu Syndrome
Thats funny, my Antec Truepower380 says 24amps for +12v rail...
DC Output: +5v +12v +3.3v -5v -12v +5v SB
Max: 35A 24A 28A 0.5A 1.0A 2.0A
Min: 0A 0.8A 0A 0A 0A 0A
+5v, +12v and +3.3v max. load 360W
They're lying about the +12v rail? probably...
From what I know about SMPS's you can't draw max current from all rails at the same time, so another rail misses out, if it weren't true then you could get 555.4 watts out of every rail at any time according...Leave a comment:

Re: Antec TruePower380 & the Fuhjyyu Syndrome
I would have to agree, the Antec Phantom 350w sounds nice for a dual core system anyway...
I'll recap this PSU and whack it in my Abit BP6
(Not in need of a recap, but I'll recap it anyway, can't be far off.)

Re: Antec TruePower380 & the Fuhjyyu Syndrome
Should I buy a new good quality PSU for my next upgrade to a Dual core AMD AM2 3800+ with ATI X1600XT 256MB and 2GB of Corsair valueselect PC-5300 RAM and recap this power supply to put it in server/firewall duty or re-use this PSU in the new system? I'm kinda strapped for cash when it comes to this upgrade, I could always wait an extra month though...Leave a comment:

I noticed the Fuhjyyu caps are only 10mm in dia, I suppose I can elevate the new caps just enough to fit 'em in..Leave a comment:

Re: Antec TruePower380 & the Fuhjyyu Syndrome
On the rs website they can only provide capacitors with a 12.5mm diameter, however I can see that causing a problem in the cramped space of this power supply, I was wondering where the previous user managed to obtain his?Leave a comment:

Re: Post your bad experiences with Antec power supplies here!
I opened up my Antec Truepower 380w this morning and found 4x Fuhjyyu 3300uF 10v capacitors bulging and venting aswell as 2x Fuhjyyu 2200uF 16v caps venting, the Rubycons on the input weren't though, of course =P
I'm intending on recapping it.Leave a comment:

Re: Antec TruePower380 & the Fuhjyyu Syndrome
I have the exact same problem in an Antec Truepower 380w....
I noticed problems with my system as soon as I started getting spin up/spin downs with my hard drives, they would constantly spin up and down during boot but it would go away after a few minutes, that is until it started to do it constantly...
The system was perfectly stable aside from that..
Long story short, I've only recently discovered that its the power supply at fault by observing bulging capacitors on the output side of...Last edited by freax; 08-02-2006, 10:04 PM.Leave a comment:
