Does Your PSU Pass the Test?

Sometimes you do not find out if your power supply is working to its capacity until it is too late. When you are in the middle of running an important application and everything suddenly crashes, you are wondering why. If only you had known that the PSU was not outputting sufficient power to keep everything going. This can be avoided with a simple and inexpensive purchase. For $15 you can get a power supply tester that will test all the connections on your power supply that would go to your computer. If there is a faulty connection or it is not properly outputting power you will know before it becomes a problem for you. It is a good idea to use this power supply tester before connecting anything in a computer you are building or upgrading. Regular tests can detect minor problems before they turn into major ones. Then you can take corrective action early and get the problem fixed.
