Are the Ti ones exact replacements? or look alikes or close? etc...
I guess what I am asking is are they the same color blue/purple?

Nice! Looks good! Wonder what they look like in comparisson to the old original ones if there are any differences at all!? did you notice any?

I don't know if I agree with that fan choice, why not just use the same fan PG did?

I stuck a slightly more powerful fan in a ZX350 and it burned out the fan control circuit, so now I am pretty cautious of using anything other than the OEM spec unit.

those won't fit in an m25 as m25 ones are 22mm wide and 35mm wide doesn't have a prayer of fitting and i'm not sure on the 85c spec ones either as 2 of my m25's have shrunken cap sleaves meaning they can get very hot so i would go with 105c ones as OEM..

@ Eric, is there any advantage to going higher capasitance on rail caps?

We need to sticky for part numbers I think.............

I was getting ready to ask about caps for my M100 and M44 before my install will be done...........

The issue is not the fans being good or bad. The issue is that they might draw too much current from the fan control section, which was designed to supply only enough current for the stock fans. If your replacement fans have the exact same current draw, with improved flow, they should be fine. I am glad they work well in your amps, but we need to make sure they safely clear all the designed parameters, before we recommend it to other people. It just takes one amp to have their fan section blow up, causing their amps overheat, and possibly be irreparably damaged.

Regarding capacitors, I would never ever put 85*C caps in an M series. With how close to the heatsink they are, they will easily exceed 105*C, especially with heavy use in hot weather. This will cause them to degrade early or fail prematurely. I would sooner use a lower capacitance 105*C cap than a higher capacitance 85*C cap, since the 85*C will degrade much faster under the circumstances.

i'm also trying source rail caps for m25/m100's so will report back with any useful info etc.. m25 ones seam easier to find though!

does anyone know if the m25 are snap in ones like m100?

Yes, M25 rail caps snap in.

Welp... this thread is shagged.

Better luck next time
