Hello guys.
Back on 2012 a friend told me that he needs help with his pc. I found out that his PSU was not working and swapped it for a Corsair CX500. The PSU is a Tagan 580Watt Semi-Modular(Tagan TG580-U15)
My testbench PSU has died today(Noname 400watt crap that smells xD) and i was wondering if i should try to fix the Tagan. It can supply more power than the psu i could afford right now, its semi modular and seems like a quality psu to me(for its age).
First of all let me tell that i know the dangers of a psu repair.
I opened the box some minutes ago. Well of course i found some bad caps(6 of them). The fuse and the rest of it looks fine to me. You think i should try to recap it, or just go for a new noname psu(thats what i can afford right now)
Here are some pictures of it
Yes i know. Its dirty asf
Thats in advance, and sorry for the long post, and the bad pictures
