This is bad, right?

Those = get a new PSU correct? Dust I can clean up, but those look bad to me. Just wanted to double check.

Looks like the caps took a shit.

Yup. Bad.

Yeah, that's definitely a bad, bad thing. New psu time.

 

[bigjon32]

thought so, thanks

 

[HaX]

how long did you have the psu for? and what brand?

 

[bigjon32]

not mine, a friend of my dad's, and its an Allieo. I figured it was bad before I opened it.

Bad capacitors. That orange crap is electrolyte. It happened to my ePox motherboard. Once I RMA'd it, all the bad caps were replaced with new ones and I haven't had a problem since.

Lately though, my cheap (after rebate) Ultra-X finity PSU seems to be giving me some problems. I hope its not a bad cap syndrone too

It wouldn't be a cap problem, they use reputable capacitors. I don't remember which brand, but it's definatly not fuhjyyu.
