Software for PSU?

[dangfx]

Hey all,
I know we all use a voltmeter to test out our PSUs, but is there any software out there that would allow testing of the power supply? Something that could be run within Windows?

Nothing accurate, unless of course it's interfacing with a DMM, or some type of data logger.

Get yourself something like http://www.frozencpu.com/psu-165.html?cid=vhf for a quick and easy check of your psu. If you are uncertain about the condition of a psu, I wouldn't run it on a good system as it may fry or at least some component might get damaged.

A multimeter is the same price and it gives you the actual voltages

so i just touch the 2 prong of the multimeter to the plugs of the PSU?

Very true, but then you have to know that orange is 3.3V, red 5V, yellow 12V, etc

There are specific wires, don't just go around touching things. Red (DMM) to yellow (PSU), with black (DMM) to black (PSU) will give you 12V DC, and so on and so forth.
