RE: Ferrite/cap filter on the P24: next best thing too a full linear cMP setup? (interim report)

Ok to form a pi filter you need a cap ---ferrite----cap. If you can
count the caps in the atx power supply all you need are the ferrites
over the 5 v and ground lines etc and then the cap in the p24
connector on the mobo. Or you can use a p24 extension to push caps in
the extension connector, ferrites on the extension line and caps
pushed into the connector into the mobo. Which way did you do it?
Before I blew a mobo I pushed a .01 mfd cap into the 5 volt portion of
the p24 connector on the mobo. I thought the sonics were
great...better dynamics, very fast. Now on my new mobo I have caps
into the p24 connector for the 5 and 12 volt lines, ferrites on the
wires...very little improvement. Maybe my memory of what my old mobo
sounded like is not right or maybe I don't have a real pi filter,
maybe its only an L. Anyway I would appreciate your comments.

More info: right now I have 47mf caps pushed into the 5v and 12 lines on the p24 connector into the mobo. Also I have an E2sl mobo (no spread spectrum bios setting) vs my old s2l mobo.
