Re: Is my PSU responsible for freezes? Possible bad caps?
Thats a picture right after I lifted the cooler off the pcb. So its the factory TIM. I applied some Noctua NT-H1.
Yes, it is a R9 280....

Re: Is my PSU responsible for freezes? Possible bad caps?
FYI these components are running together for more than a year now.
Yesterday, I tested another PSU, and the same freezes happen. Today, I got a graphics card from a friend for testing purposes, and the GPU is 100% the culprit here.Leave a comment:

Re: Is my PSU responsible for freezes? Possible bad caps?
First of all, thank you all for your input and answers!
The suspected cap is in a pristine condition... that was really just some fixing glue on top, which got brown with age and heat like momaka said. All of the caps are in fact okay. The PSU is not the problem. The GPU is.
Does someone have a clue, where to start diagnosing GPU power related problems? Under normal Windows operation like surfing and even hardware accelerated video playing, there are no crashes, NOT ONE. If I stress the GPU...Leave a comment:

I could not do a thing on the PSU the last days. Sorry! Let's see what the week end brings (more time I hope).
Edit: Johnnyguru did a test on this PSU back in 2006: [url]http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=18[/url]Re: Is my PSU responsible for freeze...06: [url]http:Last edited by More2Cap; 11-09-2016, 03:18 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Is my PSU responsible for freezes? Possible bad caps?
Sorry, I forgot to mention that my Board, CPU and RAM are roughly one year old. I can rule out any temperature related problems.Last edited by More2Cap; 11-07-2016, 04:28 PM.Leave a comment:

Is my PSU responsible for freezes? Possible bad caps?
Hi,
since a few days my PC freezes in load situations (benchmarking CPU & GPU, games, other GPU intensive applications). During normal office work there wasn't ONE freeze. Watching movies isn't a problem either.
So I looked inside my hx520w from 2007 and I found a leaked cap on the secondary side.
The plastic shield on the upper side of the primary cap seems a bit discolored even "charred" and at the bottom of the cap there is possibly leaked electrolyte? Or is that RTV silicone like on the other spots?
I can post ESR values... -
Re: New Members - please post your introductions here
Hello guys,
I'm trying to wrap my head around some advanced electronics and by doing so, I hope to understand more of the working principles of PC's, TV's, PSU etc. Maybe sometime I'll able to fix some of those
Looking forward to meet some great people here...Leave a comment:
