About fans and bearings...
Thought I'd paste a link to a FAQ made by Dorothy Bradbury
Really good reading for most people, might help people with the loads of BS used by fan relabellers and websites pushing them, like lifetime figures and what the bearings really are. -
Re: Antec Basiq?
Hi,
no first hand experience, but definately looks like a Fortron. I think the Fortron model is GLC or HLC if I remember correctly.Leave a comment:

Re: New Antec NSK-series PSUs feat. OST
Hi Pete,
thanks for the reply and information re: dates. Didn't know those dates were printed on the caps and transformer.
Recycling the PCB makes sense, especially if you only have the make minor changes to go from ATX1.3 to ATX2.xx. Not sure how the multiple 12V lines are implemented and if they thought about that back in the day when they designed the Super Silencer PCBs. So might have required an "update HW round".
I wonder if there's a revision printed somewhere on that board....Leave a comment:

Re: New Antec NSK-series PSUs feat. OST
Hi Shroomie,
To be accurate, I'm really not unhappy with the OST caps as this could have been another Fuhjuyy / CWT disaster from Antec. But the PSU is made by Seasonic and they have some proper caps in their own S12 etc. power supplies.
Generally speaking ADDA is better than the Top Motor/Dynatron/Dynaneon fans found in the older Antecs. However I personally dislike using a sleeve bearing to exhaust hot air. Also the fan seemed to have really poor pressure capability. OK these things might be irrelevant to most...Leave a comment:

New Antec NSK-series PSUs feat. OST
Hi guys,
got myself the Antec NSK6500 case for my new AM2 build. I'm a bit of a silencing freak, so one of the first things I did was a PSU fan swap. Here's some overall pics of the PSU, secondary side OST caps and the fan swap.
Besides the OST caps, I was a bit disappointed with their fan choice. The high speed sleeve bearing ADDA they used is not a good choice for a PSU.
BR,

Re: Hec 300w LRPTF
Thanks for the welcome!
I'm probably moving the PSU along with an older setup for my brother and wanted to check the caps before passing it on. Had a bad experience with the caps in an Antec Truepower 380S in the past. Not really sure on whether to do a recap on the HEC as the caps seem to be OK at this point.
Will have to ask nicely for samples through my work

Re: Hec 300w LRPTF
Hi tiresias,
you can see the (M) I mean in the last photo. I thought of Panasonic too, but it's not shaped like the Matsushita logo. But it is Panasonic?
About the actual setup (Athlon XP 3200, Abit NF7, 2x 512mb Kingston 400DDR, GF6800, 160G WD), I've tested it with Prime95, MemTest etc but couldn't get any errors. That's why it seems so weird, the crash can happen when surfing the, opening Outlook or watching a movie. Totally random. I'm moving my current setup as my HTPC within a few weeks, so will see if a fresh install of XP...Leave a comment:

Hec 300w LRPTF
Hi guys,
been having totally random boots and squeeling from the audio with my comp and decided to go through the caps. My Abit NF7 motherboard looked to be OK (will inspect it better later) and my PSU Hec 300w LRPTF also seemed to OK.
However I started looking at the caps they had used...
2 x CapXon on the primary side
Teapos, 1 * Jamicon (?) on the secondary side
and two brands I couldn't tell. The other one has the letters Ltec and the other one has (M). Any ideas on those...
