PSU load tester
Hi all,
I'm soon to be reviewing a new 750W psu but I don't have anything for load.. I have seen heavy mention of wire wound power resistors of 'various values' but no mention of what those values are. I can get various load resistors of around 100ohm/10W from ebay.. but oviously 100ohm isn't gonna be sufficient.. I'm not sure if 10W is heavy enough either.. Any suggestions on the values I should use to create a good load... I'm talking like 600W+ at least.. and if I can setup multiple banks of resistors that would be good too so I can have 100W, 200W, 350W, 500W, etc.. Just to be clear I want a _load tester_ not a $10 PSU tester that tells me if it's dead or alive.. I have a good DMM and will probably buy a second so I can measure V and A simultaneously.. I also plan on getting a Kill-A-Watt P3 meter.. so the load tester is the only real concern I have.. Thanks in advance.. Chris |
