    Re: Corsair Gs 600 Gaming Series PSU help

    This is my two cents worth on this power supply

    All replacement capacitors need to be from a well known brand manufacturer this is a must for a long life of the switching power supply

    I would recommend that you replace all capacitor that have value that are less than 100uf at a minimum
    If you plan on using this power supply for many years I would recommend that you replace all capacitor except for the main capacitor

    This I what I do with this type of switching power supply board

    I would also recommend that you make sure that the fan and fan controller work correctly and there are no issues with these two items

    Then you need to make sure that you have the right voltage on each power rail

    3.00 volts 5.00 volts 12.00 volts - 12.00 volts these values should not be more than ( + ) or ( - ) 0.50 volts in either direction this is maximum value lower than this would be better

    One final note you have a problem on the gray wire what is this wire ( this value is way out of specks )

    All your other values are a little higher than what I like to see in a computer switching power supply
    I would like to see values in the range of no more 0.20 (+) or (-) in either direction less would be even better

    Now sometimes you will see the 12.00 volt rail with a voltage of 11.5something which is the only power rail that is expectable value with some switching power supply as long as all the other power rails are in specks

    Then you should be ready to rock and roll

    I hope this helps you

      Thanks sam

      Now, how do I fix the grey wire voltage? Is it a bad cap?

        I would recommend that you recap it first then recheck your voltages again and see if it is any better with the voltage values

        On the date plate on this power supply what voltage dose it says it should be on the gray wire
