Re: ATX PSU recap and upgrade

thank you for the answers. So I guess I'm going to use 1200uF. To improve the outbound filter add a third capacitor ? So cap-coil-cap-cap? Is it madness?

Hello guys. I would like to replace the secondary capacitors of an ATX PSU. It currently mounts cap-coil-cap filters for 3.3/5 and 12v. Teapo 1000uF. I'd like to fit in some better-performing Japanese capacitors. Do you advise me to go up with microfarads (I was thinking about 3300uf) or is that a bad idea? A friend explained this to me: "Be careful because the coils on the secondary should be sized to use the expected capacity condestors, it is not said that by increasing the ripple it is reduced, it could create noise at frequencies that with the larger capacitors are no longer filtered...

Hello, I was reading the forum for a long time learning about fixing bad caps and now I need some help regarding some cap upgrade in an ATX psu secondary line to reduce ripple. Here are some photos of an upgrade made on a cheap atx power supply. Pre and after mod. Greetings to everyone and sorry for my English...
