Antec Basiq 500W Pics?
Does anyone have any pics of the interior? Or links to a place that does? I am curious as to the caps it uses. Thanks!

Re: Antec Basiq 500W Pics?
I have also been very interested in this. Mainly because the Basiq series is quite cheap, however it is made by a fairly reputable brand. I would also be very interested on the quality of the Basiq series Antec power supplies!

Re: Antec Basiq 500W Pics?
I'd like to know about the build quality of these as well.Comment

Re: Antec Basiq 500W Pics?
Hmmm... it is quite cheap, I'd definitely go for one over say a generic 'yum cha' PSU (with questionable wattage)

Re: Antec Basiq 500W Pics?
who wants to buy one and take pics of the innards?
I would except I have a tight budget (college kid = not much mad money
)

Re: Antec Basiq 500W Pics?
I got one in today thanks to the fry's deal that should be only $15 shipped(if the $35 rebate is honored). I thought I would run it for a week or two in a system to see if it dies(in case I need to send it in under warranty for replacement) and if it looks like it is going to be OK, I'll void the warranty and post pics(if I can borrow a camera that is).Comment

I don't know whether I believe it, but aren't these Fortron-built? If so, they ought to be fine...You know there's something wrong when you open up a PSU and are glad to find Teapos.
Why I don't buy cheap cases!

The Basiqs are definitely Fortrons. Here's a 700W Fortron FX-700GLN:

Notice how much it looks like this 500W Antec Basiq:
My 500W Antec Basiq had Capxon capacitors (good brand) in both the high voltage and low voltage sides:

Wow! Not bad at all, then. Guess that's one more on my good list. Thanks for the proof, Larry.You know there's something wrong when you open up a PSU and are glad to find Teapos.

Re: Antec Basiq 500W Pics?
Hmm, 500w with that design?
Not that I'm saying it's a poor low-cost design (we sure need low cost PSU's that still are able to deliver clean current)
But I'm kinda sceptical about it delivering 500w without either going out of the ATX spec or just getting too hot (if it's efficiency isn't really really good that is, because those heatsinks on the primary side does not look too impressive surface area wise...)
A very good 300w PSU I am sure it is though, and I am BTW yet to actually see a computer that draws over 300w DC for that matter so :P"The one who says it cannot be done should never interrupt the one who is doing it."Comment

why the transformer on the basiq say STG not SPI?Last edited by willawake; 07-12-2007, 02:42 PM.Comment

Re: Antec Basiq 500W Pics?
Thank you larrymoencurly for the pics! It saves me from having to void my warranty.
Would it having active PFC have an impact on the power output with the heatsinks and other components that are used?Originally posted by Per Hansson
I was wondering about that also.Originally posted by willawakeComment

Re: Antec Basiq 500W Pics?
That's what I thought, but some legitimate PSU review websites said that other Fortrons of similar design and similarly small heatsinks did OK. However I think they were 80%+ efficiency models, while this Basiq is rated for only 70% min., but those 80%+ models also use diodes on the outputs, not more efficient MOSFETS there.Originally posted by Per Hansson
What did Fortron do to those other models to give them higher efficiency?Comment

I covered the psu to let it run very hot were it even ran up to 55c while my friend gamed the crap out of it. It never once crashed my system or blew a cap at the extremes. I've had it for 3 weeks and put it through some harcore testing and it is definately at thumbs up psu. The .pf rating I got at loads was consistently at .98 and sometimes hitting .99. It only drops down to .94 when your system is at idle and pulling ~200w.Last edited by scwam; 07-24-2007, 11:40 AM.Comment

Re: Antec Basiq 500W Pics?
It is looking very similar to my AmacroX Free Earth AX500-60GLN (made by or at least designed by FSP too), except the o/p caps.
My o/p caps have had only 1000uF on any rail (two caps per rail in a phi configuration).
I replaced them with Panasonic FM 1500uF and 1200uF.
Replaced the 120mm fan by an AC 120AF ceramic bearing fan too. My system is running stable as a system could be and noise level is acceptable.Comment

My ATX FSP HEXA 500W was broken, lost 5vol stand by , ic TNY 277PN is broken, and R26, but i dont know what is R26. Help me... -
While recaping Antec Earthwatts EA-380 I've broke one side of unknown smd element, it have no print, it's flatter and darker than smd capacitors on this board, shaped more like resistor but it's not resistor ofc. Unfortunetly the printed description was under it and element was glued to the board so I cant read/tell the letter before element number too. Have anyone any idea what it is? Maybe is there any diagram of this PSU?

In my search for a proper 5v heavy ATX power supply, I selected an old Antec SU-380 that I've had in storage for a long time. Opening the power supply reveals a couple bulged capacitors. I removed all the caps and made a map for myself. I found the datasheet for the PCE TUR series in this thread:
https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=14159
It says these are general purpose, so I assume I can replace them with any general purpose capacitors, but I don't really know anything about power supply circuits or reading capacitor datasheets. Despite this, I've been shopping for replacements:... -
Hello,
I'm currentlly in the process of trying my first power supply repair (really my first soldering project) and have some questions with regard to which capacitors to replace the bad ones.
The power supply is an Antec Smart Power SL300S ATX12V 300 watt.
I have successfully desoldered every capacitor from the board without destroying anything (I think) and I am currently in the process of choosing which caps to order. This is where I'd like a little community wisdom.
Now the capacitors inside are mostly Fuhjyyus (a forum favorite) with 1... -
this lcd first started showing green lines horizontal ,with flickrs then one day stopped showing rest of the screen , now it just like in the pic , i can see mouse at top,also the icons at right end of screen , i also tried to look around the cable wires ,adn loosened it ,but its the same result . i tried the flex test , the monitor changes to white ,and different colours, but dint show the actual picture , external monitor vga connection is good, so please guide me what next to do . please verify the pics, thank you ....
