LC 600h-12 v2.31

[nick122]

I bought this psu a year ago for my second build. Today I decided to upen it up and see what's inside. HEC 220uf 400WV primary and 2200uf 16v YC WE secondaries. It's based on Great Wall OEM platform. Is it worth recapping? And also which caps would be decent replacements?

Looks like a decent 300-350 Watt unit to me. What is/are the rectifiers on the 12V rail, though? That should give you a somewhat better idea of the capability of this PSU. I can't tell from the pictures if this is an old half-bridge platform or forward converter. I also don't know what your PSUs needs are, so I can't say for sure if this PSU will be worth recapping to you. But to me, it does look worth recapping. Should be able to handle a basic PC pretty well.

As for capacitors, obviously something from the Japanese brands would be a good choice. This is what I typically try to get:

I'd be recapping that too. Like momaka already said. It isn't a PSU for a power hungry computer, but perfect for a more basic one.

I checked it today, it's using forward converter design. Also i've ordered 20 ucc 2200uf, 3300uf and 470uf kzh for recapping.

Half bridge converters usualy have 2 series 200-250V caps, this one has only one 400V, this is a clue that suggests a forward converter, i do realise there are half bridge converters with only one 400V cap, but they do use two 1-2,2uF/250V in series, and i do not see it in the pictures, so again i would have said forward converter from the start, what i do see is that it seams to have an active pfc as well. I too think it is well worth recapping, but as it has been sayd, clean the dust, and make sure the cooler is in perfect working order.
