Insides of old PSU , cleaned and replaced fan

[jerry6]

threw out the 3 globs of silicone floating around and it seems to be working again . How do the components look for a 450 watt supply , good-bad ? Seems a better build than a few other psu I've taken apart .L and C lc b450-e . It's garbage , leaking capacitors some look like they over ate for a month . surprised it ran , glad I replaced it before it fried the mb

Koshin caps? The bottom pic shows several of the small caps bulging on top. The heatsinks are tiny. It has one main coil, so its a group regulated design instead of the newer independant models. I might run it on a computer I didn't care about. I'd just toss it in the junk bin.

I'd just toss it in the junk bin.

Would have done that instead of cleaning it up.

tossed it , so far the antec replacing ir is running cool , fan hardly runs and air out the back of psu is cool , unlike the hot air the old one pushed out
