I have 2 ATX PSUs: one is high quality and the other is a cheap one.
Upon opening the case, I notice the difference that on the power connector of a high quailty PSU, there is a capacitor connecting L to N. But I don't see any in a cheap PSU.
May I ask what does this capacitor do?
Does this have something to do with Power Factor Correction?
Should I do the same with the cheap one?
