And even then, most PSU are at 30mV or lower... "Hell is full of good meanings, but Heaven is full of good works" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So ripple increases only when they die, not through the course of their lifespan what about recapping jobs, do you recommend them? I guess not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 9, 2018 8 hours ago, 17030644 said: So ripple increases only when they die, not through the course of their lifespan At least not dramatically... Just look at the Lifetime of a Datasheet... While there are things changing, if the Ripple Rises, the unit is dying. You can also look at the HardOCP Review of the 10 year old unit revisted... Quote what about recapping jobs, do you recommend them? I guess not Not really. Thing is when the Caps die we are usually talking about a low end, fairly old unit. Like 7 Years+ And there is actually an Article of a Capjob on Jonnyguru - wich shows the Ripple of the recapped unit was way worse than the one with the broken ones...
