Using our simple sea website templates on our site you can buy website templates My Enermax took a dive on teh 12+volt line, and has been showing steady readings of 10.50volts, making the system unstable. SO I've slapped in a cheapo 300watter. Took apart my Enermax, and traced the 12volt lines by eye, and ran across two caps that have their tops blown, and goo has oozed out. Im pretty sure this is the issue and would like to replace them in attempt to repair this PSU. The two caps are 4700 10volt jobs, and am finding it difficult to find exactly the same specs on caps offered in town. I found 4700 36v's. Question is just the basics. Can I go with a higher specs (>4700) if I stick with 10volts, or do I have to have 4700?
Thanks for any help.

I think, I said I think as I'm not sure, that you can use a number greater than 4700. It's been a few years since I've played with that type of stuff. If I could easily contact my father right now, I could tell you as he'd know for sure.

The larger the better. If anything going higher than 4700 will make your 12V line more stable as it would have more stored energy in reserve for the times it needs a quick burst of power.
Just in case I would test voltage output before hooking up the power supply to your system. To test the without being plugged into the motherboard, take the power connector that plugs into the motherboard and run a jumper wire from the green wire with one of the black wires. Thsi would make it think it is hooked up to the moterboard and allow you to check your voltage to the 12V line.

1gigkid. thank you. I am aware of the 'tsting outside of system tweak', (but its not always green, and black, though always usaly grnd is black). My question still is./ Do I need to stay with a 10v or more ?
And I want to thank the folding team for helping me with atleast posting! I really would like to resolve this issue with a fair chance. It is a three year old PSU, but not beyonf repair. and a solid one needed for solid OC stabilaty. My Folding has been down since.

personally, I would recommend staying with 10v. if you use a cap that is rated for a higher voltage than that, you could fry something else

I agree with big_hoovie. Stick with the 10V. I don't think you would fry anything beacuse you shouldn't have more than 10V going to the Caps to begin with. If you have a volt meter you should be able to check what your voltage is before the caps. I would try to stay as close to 10V if not stay at 10V.

That makes sense. I can go over the amount the cap ia able to hold (4700), but not on voltage.
Thanks a ton guys!
