Nice load tester, but even at 30W it soon gets too hot.

The old ATX1 20 pins type connector has also a -5V pin (p.18). Which is not connected and not available on a new ATX2 24 pins connector. And the extra 4 pins on an ATX2 connector carry extra +12V1, +3.3V, +5V and COM connections. Most likely for higher currents and so more Power on those new ATX2 PSU's.
If you need them depends on the type of PC mainboard you are using and the Power they need. For instance a Quad Core Xeon X5460 CPU on an Asus mainboard alone needs already 120 Watt of Power! (And those ATX2 Power Supplies often give much higher 3.3V and 5V currents too).

Albert, a good repair and other device saved from the dump. What a bad quality of e-caps nowadays.

I'm glad Angelo I could help. I hope your Power Supply (? I read your post in another article) will be working again after the e-caps are replaced. And my Blessings to you and your loved ones too, and have a very good new year 2017!

Thank you Yogesh for the statistic view on the subject of these bad e-caps. Although higher voltage e-caps are often bigger, it in some cases didn't stop me to nevertheless still use them. By just drilling another hole next to one of both original e-cap holes in the PCB. And if neccesary adding a wire connection to the pin in the drilled hole.
