Before we go forward and run some of the tests that we are going to see hereinafter, let us check a few of the symptoms to understand if those tests are worth doing. We have mentioned some symptoms ...

The power supply on a computer transforms the alternating current from the wall outlet into a direct current flow that the computer's components can use. Testing the DC voltage output of the power ...

Testing electrical equipment can be dangerous work. As such, testing of all PSUs is carried out on a conductive mat connected to a safety switch. Breaker switches are also used and, of course, there's ...

There are three main elements to our testing equipment which are each there to provide us with different pieces of information to judge the quality of a power supply: SM-268 Active Load Tester This ...

This three-part series describes how to properly test a DC/DC power supply, and ensure that it works reliably over various operating conditions. This series is intended to provide the designer with a ...

I'm going to be transferring most of the "guts" of my current PC to an FD Define R5 with a Seasonic X650 PSU (the former arrived last week, the latter just today). As it would be a rude surprise to ...

okay, i need help.<BR><BR>i was testing the voltage/current of my components inside the computer to see if i was overloading the psu or not. <BR><BR>i was using a multimeter and tested the voltage.

During our tests, we also monitor the voltage fluctuations as shown below in both IDLE and LOAD states of the PC. We write down the lowest and highest values we see within a specific PC state. The ...

A simple switch (again low resistance) allows you to flick between the 3.3V, 5V and four 12V outputs. The reason there are four 12V outputs is so you can simulate multi-GPU systems by connecting ...
