Which Capacitors are used on EVGA Supernova T2 1600w? Their missing on the Sleeved Kits ?!

I have discovered that my EVGA Supernova T2 1600w has ripple implemented capacitors and want to add them back into my EVGA replacement sleeved kits as I have learned that they are useful to correct +- 6 mv in worst cases. I would also like to know if anyone can guide me where I could find these capacitors or even better some premium Japanese versions as I can't imagine the 3 of them amounting to more than 20 dollars. Though I really want to figure this out soon as I have everything in pieces at the moment waiting. :) Thanks to everyone who cares. :)

    I think you shouldn't done that.
    You will made mess and your result could be even worse.
     
    Install sleeve kit and don't worry. 
    You see and K|NGP|N test with sleeve kits normal.
    For several years here I never heared that someone had problem with EVGA Sleeve kit and hundreds people have them.

    Not looking for a problem just that the psu has extra pinouts that would have no probes attached. Most of us can spare a dime to replace them if you can come up with a trick like I think I have. But I want to keep the originals intact. So I am simply asking if anyone knows the cap values?

    1) I don't know the capacitor values. No.
    2) I had a set of custom cables made for me (for a Corsair PSU), by a specialist that does custom cables all day, everyday for a living. He would not make the cables for me WITH CAPACITORS because a) the result would look messy b) it is incredibly difficult to do (therefore it takes ages and is expensive).
    3) If you read up on the Jonny Guru website about the capacitors within the cables he explains that while they help to suppress voltage ripple, even without the capacitors the PSUs are typically well within Intel specifications and the ultimately you don't need them. They are very, very, very much unlikely to impact any ordinary PC in general use. And even if you are overclocking the bejesus out of your system on LN2, it is unlikely to make much difference.
    4) Doing this yourself - unless you have an electronics background - you are asking for trouble. I do have an electronics background. And if you are asking the capacitor values, I can already tell that your attempting this is a bad idea. Mistakes in crimping / soldering can cause bigger trouble with your cables than you are trying to avoid in putting in the capacitors.
     
    Don't intend to offend or be a downer, but just trying to offer you good advise.

    The application is unique in it of itself. I am making a portable server. It is easy to assume the original schematic included them (extra pins) instead of 24pins -24pins had purpose in design logic. In my perception those extra pins and the resulting ripple control were added to the original design specs in order to get the ultimate of control at the load. The video Johny Guru produced also explains how you can move the capacitor up the cable to hide them for better design but it is kind of a catch 22 in the sense that it doesn't work as well as it would if the capacitors are placed directly beside the atx header at the motherboard in turn also making it "ugly". As always they really is no noticeable difference in performance. Yet I think if you have longer than normal cables (like I do), have extra accessories tied off to the 3.3v lines (as I do) like the aquabus, from aquatuning, have ecc enabled server with a desire for accuracy (as I do), it will become a little more noticeable and fine adjustments could be in a sense larger.
     
    As most people should care to consider things aren't so black and white. One thing that seems overlooked is that in some working environments they will have little or no impact where as under different load, climate, and cable condition all play a role as well. Hence it has a greater importance in longevity department than the performance and aesthetic aspects as those are of a separate concern.
     
    Also since I have already assembled all the the other cables using high grade silver wire and MDPC cable sleeving it is a priority to continue with this method.
     
    Lastly it is interesting that other EVGA supernova power supplies used a CapXon 220 μF 16 with a (RC or ripple current rating of 210!) radial electrolytic cap. I was thinking to use a board level cap with identical values with an even better tolerance rating soldered inline with either a small pc board or even hidden right inside the sleeving itself (making it both optimally interfaced and invisible to the eye while maintaining the appeal! I am attemping this and to my knowledge I would be the first to try this. 
     
    Why make psu's with odd plastic housings and extra pins even manufacturer odd cables with caps in them if they have no purpose.

    Okay. Well have fun. Let us know how you get on. Post pics once you've completed it. I suggest you get yourself a good multimeter, assuming you don't already have one. I can recommend the Fluke 17B which is good value (grey import) but otherwise the full price Western market ones are what you will need.

    Come on guys; can someone PPPPPPPpppppppppplllllllleeeeeaaaasssseee !! help me get the pinouts for supernova t2 1600w ? ... They are not the same as the 1000w one online... so I just need some support  palease :)
