FC2 discusses GSC largely in the context of failure and leakage stories. The source says GSC's name derives from initials in the company name, Evercon data sheets were accessible through a newer website, and later GSC/Evercon variants were tracked on a separate page.

Original source text

Official name: GEN SALES ELECTRONIC CO., LTD. Website listed: gsc-cap.com (not found). Location: Taiwan. Founded in 1989; ISO 9001:2000 listed. Product: capacitors. Vent type: head03. Reported in motherboards, graphics cards, PSUs and other boards. Very numerous bulging/leakage reports and a poor reputation in the source. The GSC letters derive from Gen Sales Electronic Co.; the archive associates the discontinued GSC brand with Evercon, discusses possible old stock on 2006 ASRock boards and references special2/Evercon links.
