Re: The Hall of Shame - Badcaps Photo Montage
Seriously??
This makes no sense. Why would they be, anyways?
Yes.
Keyword here: very old Delta/Newton PSUs - the ones that typically came with Pentium 4 and Pentium D machines. Later ones... I'm not sure if Delta changed something or Ltec became more crap, but these latter PSUs have a ton more problems with CapXon and Ltec caps, despite the PSUs being built very similar to the old ones and powering an even less power-hungry PCs (typically Core 2 Duo and Athlon II X2's.)
With that said, Ltec is now on my replace-on-sight list. I trust even old Fuhjyyu caps more than that! (Except Fuhjyyu in a CWT - not sure why that combo never worked out
). And CapXon...... eh, let's not talk about them. 
Indeed.
That said, you can still use GP caps even on modern motherboards if the application is with a linear regulator.
