A3000 PSU caps are very dificult to desolder be cause commodore give hard glue :mad:

after de solder 3x 3300uf , I tested capacity - conclusion capacity was very low that mean all 3300uf gone

What fan did you choose? I went with silent fans from china, that were cheap and I'm very disappointed. Can't remember the brand name now, but they have a tiger or lion on the fan. They are loud until they settle down after 5 mins or so. Stay away from them.

Will check the fan when I get time for the brand name...
