Hi, I've got a dead PSU, 4 swollen caps are on it.
2 are 6.3v 4700uF caps right next to the 5 v output rails
the other two is a 10v 1000uF and a 10v 2200uF cap, both near a transformer (there's heat marks on the PCB there).
The problem I have is all a smaller than the usual diameter and larger ones wouldn't fit. The 1000uf and 2200uf are 8mm dia (smallest I can find are 10mm), and the 4700uf are 10mm, smallest I can find are 12mm.
I swear that all these manufacturers use crappy fuhjjyu caps because they come in the smallest package. Anyone got model numbers of decent caps that I can google and maybe find down here in australia?
I had to throw out an old tagan PSU a while back for the same reason, crappy fuhuytyuus! blew, (damn just typing that name makes me get all angry on my k/b and start bashing it!), and I couldn't find any replacement caps small enough so I tossed that PSU. So I'd rather take the time to learn where to source decent small diameter caps this time even if it is an antec PSU so I finially find out where to get replacement caps.
