I've been using the 20 pin tester simply to weed out 100% dead supplies.


On a good 24 pin supply there is always one LED not lit and thus it
shows an overall failure.

Until recently that has proven good enough.

For peace of mind, next time I place an order to NewEgg, I''l get a 24
pin tester.


Building and repairing very few computers now days...
used to be three a week.






Had a look at the 24 pin PSU


no -5 volt at all


That is what triggers the 20 pin tester to show fault
