You miss the point of those posts. Those caps are widely acknowledged as utter POS. As the wiki article

In some cases, the root cause of the failing capacitors is industrial espionage gone wrong. Several Taiwanese electrolyte manufacturers began using a stolen formula that was incomplete, and lacked ingredients needed to produce a stable capacitor.

Going back firmly and truly on topic, the fuhjyyo caps in the Hiper are in this category, because they used the stolen formula, and so are a total POS because they will corrode and leak causing the caps - and the PSU - to blow (over time).
I might open my PSU next time i'm in the PC and check the caps. Always a good idea to do.
yeah you will get bad batches in anything, but surely you'll accept if they're using caps that inherently corrode, because the anti-corrosive isn't included, then you're way way more likely to get one blow - or under watt - or anything. These PSU faults can be shown in anything.
The FSP supplies seem to get a good report though, wherever you look. Mine's been fine (touch chipwood) so far, is very stable, and accurate too.
