Horrible pictures of dead caps
I would like to dedicate this thread to the most horrible pictures of dead caps you guys can find
Just to scare these guys, who think that "this can never happen to them" Let's start with HP Pavilion machine pic. TMS 1500uF caps, machine shutting down in 30 sec after power on:![]() Frankly I would not dare to turn it on... Picture from Carcenomy user on TechPowerUp forums

List of bad brands are there: http://capsmod.net/forum/viewthread....extra=page%3D1But maybe you can post just the thumbnail from imageshack? ![]() p_o_s_pc - that is a damn shame Well, maybe next time. What was that GFX cardie? ![]() MSI MS-6368 and Chhsi caps. ![]() Picture courtesy of user markiemrboo from overclockersclub forum

Heheh, well, that. Okay
Maybe it is better not to mess with something you did not know how to do it precisely, so it is wise to let it make someone who is know what is he doing ![]() Speaking about GSC caps - Peter's GSC caps in GF2MX400 ![]() ...and even the topmost left one, witch looked "reasonably" well for GSC look this way from bottom ![]()

As they age and or lose their ability to work properly they "pop" from an excessive build up of Hydrogen gas. They may also Hiss, Buzz, Click, or Scream, just proir to this ocuring. Usually the electrolight (liqiud) inside leaks out also.

Mussels - yea, they are pretty bad - but I saw worser - when they exploded
![]() Morgoth - because of either excess stress (that can kill even a good cap!) or - mostly - because of being made from stolen incomplete formula bad cap. This is extremly comon. In fact, all cusomer grade PSUs containing bad caps. The difference between them are just a difference if they use the good of bad caps (like Teapo and OST - Enermax 620W Liberty, for example) or if they use Fuhjyyu inferior bad crap caps (for example GTR 450W-Li PSU - http://www.jonnyguru.com/review_deta...=26&page_num=2 - http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/lainaz...34595702707810 ) from the bad caps list, witch is rather long anyway: http://capsmod.net/forum/viewthread....extra=page%3D1 Namslas90 - Quote:
