Hi Mark,

I just got done with the RMS current test of your Geek Group 0.10uF 
Cornell-Dubilier caps.  I got 1.03 degres C temp rise with 2.75 amps at 
350kHz continuous sine wave.  That suggests that they can do 8.75A RMS for 
10C rise.  That is really good!!  A few more tests to do still, but so far 
they look excellent!!
