Hi everyone
I have a resistor from a power supply (EVGA 700W 80Plus Gold). It was damaged and needed to replace. I have searched internet, but still not sure I have the correct reading. It doesn't seem to match the chart.
It has 5 band
- Green, Gold, Silver, Green, x , Brown.
Length is 1.4cm, diameter is 0.4cm.
Thanks in advance for all your contributions.

It's a six band one, brown is first band. Silver and gold are 4 and 5. Band 2 has no color?

What is the exact model name/# of PSU?

Where was this resistor located on the PCB? Existing online pics or providing us some might help.

What is that piece of metal sticking out at the bottom left of your pic? I mean it looks like a wire wound resistor and that is part of the wire, except the wire wraps the other direction and should have went under the end cap on the opposite side based on the visible angle the wire is taking.

I'd first research the first two things I asked above, but ultimately since it is a wire wound type and it looks like the break in the wire is at the bottom as pictured, I would take an x-acto knife and scrap away the coating to expose the wire as low as I can get conductivity from it and then measure resistance between that point and the broken-off-lead nub on the top (as pictured), then based on what (guesstimated) % of the wire was below the break, calculate out the total resistance value based on what you measure, for example if the wire was broken 1/3rd of the way up the resistor and measured 100 ohms to the further end cap lead nub, would be roughly 100 / (2/3) = 150 ohms. This is only an example using fictional numbers.

Considering this is at least a 2W resistor (so was expected to potentially dissipate some heat, a power path rather than signal path placement) the resistance value should be fairly low if it's a load resistor on one of the output rails, maybe sub-200 ohms or less producing some fraction of an amp load for the voltage of the rail it's on, OR fairly high few hundred Kohm or more if a bleeder resistor across the high voltage capacitor on the high side, or IDK if in some other placement more unique to the particular circuit design.

Hi, the PSU IS EVGA 700GD. I attached more photos. Hope they are useful. Thanks

My best guess is that this is an oddball color band scheme where the 5th band means something non-standard so it is treated as a 4 band which is 0.15ohms 5% from the brown, green, silver, gold, bands. If it is in series with the power trace rather than bridging +/-, that low ohm value would make sense.

Are all these your pictures? In one I see the transistor(s) removed. If a transistor shorted and that resistor was in series to it, that also would make sense for why the resistor failed.

Hi, thanks for your prompt reply. You are correct that the transistors and heatsink was removed as one of the transistors was faulty. You mentioned that you would treat it as 4 bands - brown, green, silver, gold, bands. Do we ignore the last green band? Would 0.15ohms 5% too small resistance for a 700 watts PC power supply? Thanks for your input.

I would first verify that it is in series with the transistor, in which case a very low ohm value like 0.15 ohms makes sense, but if it is instead a bleeder resistor across the capacitor positive and negative, (which I doubt but safer to make sure than to guess) then a different resistor value is needed.

This is the factor of the resistance, where it is in the circuit and really has little to nothing to do with it being a 700W power supply. Yes ignore the green band but do get a similar (enough) resistor, wire wound, 2W (might be a 3W, it's borderline which it is depending on the construction materials but probably 2W considering no need for exotic materials for this purpose) or largest that will fit the available space.
