ENERMAX Liberty ELT500AWT
I've had this since march 2006, it had been used in my gaming rig up until my sli upgrade last year and had been used a test PSU for a short period before finding it's way into my new fileserver for 2 or 3 months during the transition from my old fileserver which still had the corsiar 650w.
Well about 3 weeks ago I needed to install pci-e usb port adapter into my server. I shut it down and work on it and then when it came to start her up, she did not turn on. I pull the 650w out of the old fileserver and plug her in and she fired up fine.
So this liberty psu had finely succumb to age and dried out caps. It will work on low power systems like celeron M-atx S478 or PIII systems but the newer 775 or am2/3 it will not; it used to though.
Anyways I open it up and look inside,
It's got three 3300uf 10v and two 3300 16v two 500uf 10v caps and then one I can't identify because it's turn towards heatsink. The brand is CTC?
I plan on recapping it, I may have a problem with the sizes height wise anyways. Four of them are 35mm and two 30mm, but diameter... get this, 10mm. Do they make them like this? what would be good to replace the caps considering how compact everything is.
