Project: Blue on Black

[Antioch]

Capacitors? Umm... I didn't see any... I removed some heat shrink and some black cylinder underneath that looked like really tough to cut heat shrink that was melted into the wires. Didn't see anything that I recognized as a capacitor though.

Yeah.. black cylinder = capacitor I believe.

I don't have one of these SS PSUs yet but.. that's what it is. You shouldn't remove them. I think there was some thread somewhere around here about removal / how to sleeve them.

They're basically there to keep the PCIe voltage steady. You want.
