Re: Wonky Topower

Err... This odd silence after 36 views has me thinking I might just pick up a Corsair and save the repairing of the current PSU for a rainy day. I'm pretty sure my big soldering gun is buried in storage right now, anyway.

I'm still curious for opinions on this thing, though. Feel free to speak up, or type up, as the case may be.

I've known about bad caps for a long time now, but I think I may have just been bitten in the rear by some Fuhjyyu caps!

I bought this Topower "450" watt unit a few years ago and for the most part, it has performed exceptionally well nearly 24/7. Recently, I used the entire system that it has powered since new to build a budget HTPC, and of course, the PSU went in to the HTPC case along with everything else. Obviously, the only thing that has changed is that the system runs slightly warmer now, due to the confines of an HTPC case. Out of no where, I'm suddenly seeing voltage...
