This is a great upgrade, although I know how to replace blown capacitors it is very quiet and doesn't get hot. While using this one I have ordered 6 capacitors, three for my old and broken power supply and 3 extra in case needed in the future. You can get higher quality capacitors at 10 for $4. Note that this requires basic soldering skills with iron, flux and lead. Three are off and the new 3 are on again about 10 minutes later. It would be wise to clean the fan with the PSU open, but I love this new PSU!
