Sorry, I'm not psu savvy, there are so many of them out there.
I need to replace 350 watt psu in a computer I am working on. Got a choice between 2 different Sparkle PSU's from Newegg. Not worried about the price, I just want to know which one of these is the best. I know one is an 80 Plus model. Is that a big advantage?
Here is links to the 2 different psu's

Re: Best caps for Power Supplies?
I was worried about using a lesser value than the 2200uf.
Would using a 1500uf 16v have any ill effects? -
Re: Best caps for Power Supplies?
Got a problem, I'm recapping a Seasonic power supply and I have 1 cap I can't match. It a OST 16v 2200uf 10mm cap.
The problem is any good cap with the value 16v 2200uf comes in 12.5 diameter. I got to have a 10mm because it's a tight place.
Can I use a 16v 1500uf 10mm or maybe a 10v 2200uf in it's place?Leave a comment:

Re: The Hall of Shame - Badcaps Photo Montage
Here are some pics of SAM YOUNG capacitors. (Different angles)
You can see 2 of the 1500uf 10v are buldged at the top and the bottom seals are blown out....Leave a comment:

Re: KY or LXY of United Chemi-Con
Thanks for all your advice.
I done my first recap job and installed 11 1500uf 10v 10mm x 25mm KY series of United Chemi-con caps on a dead motherboard, and have brought it back to life. So far so good everything is running great.
I do however think I may need to replace a power mosfet that I know got hot by the looks of the board. But I have posted that at [url]https://www.badcaps.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=8[/url]Re: KY or LXY of United Chemi-Con<br...irst recap jobLeave a comment:

Unsoldering old Mosfets and Soldering in new
I have some mosfets that I would like to replace with new ones. (They are N310AS) I bought a few new ones from Mouser. (The part number on them are NF30AB made by Fairchild)
I would like to replace 4 of them. Not sure if they are going bad or not. One of them gets pretty hot.(at least I know it did before I recapped it, you can see some of the green coating missing from the board around it) The board still works after I recapped it.
I had to recap it, as it was dead.
My questions are, What is the best way to unsolder and remove the old ones? And the correct... -

KY or LXY of United Chemi-Con
I have to replace some caps on my motherboard.
They are 1500uf 10v 10Wide x 20Long 105degrees C made by Sam Young.
I have my choice to replace them with United Chemi-Con KY series 1500uf 10v 10Wide x 25 Long 105 degrees C
Or
United Chemi-Con LXY series 1500uf 10v 10Wide x 30Long 105degrees C.
The KY series are rated Endurance with ripple current: 4000 to 10,000 hours at 105degrees C. The LXY series are rated Endurance with ripple current: 2000 to 8000 hours at 105degrees C.
What would be the best, last the longest?...
