Misc. Regarding F5

it really has little to do with being suitable for an f5 or not. the EA version has better ripple current rating, so it will take more ripple in the AC line before it will show up at the output, but they are only rated for 85 degrees, while the DA version will not cope with as much ripple, but will cope with higher temperature for longer before drying out. i would go for the 105c personally, but it depends on the case temperatures you are expecting in your particular build what tradeoff is better for you. given the currents in the f5 and given you are using multiple caps i would think the 3.9A ripple rating is fine and it will cope with the higher temp more reliably.


Thank you. DA it is, then.
