ATX power-tester

[William J. Lunsford]

I have a PC Power & Cooling ATX Power-Tester. Can that be used on an ATX
power supply with the extra P4 12V connector to the motherboard? If so, do
you leave the 12V connector attached to the motherboard during testing?

If this device requires you to unplug the 20 pin connector from the MB to
test the PS I would also unplug the P4 12v connection. I am not familiar
with this PS tester and would need to read the owners manual.

Thank you for your reply. You do have to unplug the 20-pin connector from
the motherboard and plug it into the device. A green light indicates the
power supply is OK. The only instructions I have are printed right on the
device. There is nothing about a 12v P4 connector. I looked, but I could not
find any information on the PC Power & Cooling site where this device is
sold.

You are Welcome

You can also test the PS with a standard VOM set on DC voltage.

But you still need a dummy load to turn the power supply ON.
Antec makes a nice tester that makes using a DVM easy.
