    Re: DIY PSU load tester

    The reason it dropped dead is because i don't really have an use for it - i don't fix PSUs too often. However with minor adjustments it can also be used as constant resistance instead of constant current - will help in making less noise with those big class D amps i'll be building.

                In the meantime, i have acquired a huge heatsink (will do 1kW+), but never gotten around to mounting the transistors on it.

                    Testing ATX PSUs under load - Does loading the ATX 24 pin also load EPS & PCIE?
                    by AJ847.63e
                    Hi Folks,

                    Just wanted to clear up a misunderstanding of mine (or what I expect is one). Isn't the 12V rail from the 24 pin, EPS and PCIE separated? IE if I put a power resistor on the ATX 12V pin that is not going to load, thus tell me if the EPS or PCIE rails are fine?

                    I was recently watching ArIs from Hardware Busters video on how to properly test ATX PSUs without using 5 figure Croma substations.

                    The PCB adapter he used breaks out the 12, 5 and 3.3V pins from the 24 pin and gives you banana plugs to connect to. That is a bit useless is it not? Aren't...
