Case Buy EZ Power Supply Tester 2

     We have long been fans of any product that will make help diagnose systems problems. The EZ Power Supply Tester 2 is an easy to use device that will test your PSU and let you know that all of the lines are working properly. This takes the guess work out of determining why your system will not boot or exactly where that puff of smoke came from while you were gaming last night.

     The EZ Power Supply Tester 2 is enclosed in a smart looking anodized aluminum housing. The full instructions are silk screened on the housing. This is great for those of us that can't be bothered with finding or keeping paperwork.

     At the top of the unit you will find the SATA power test port and at the bottom, the 4 pin Molex.  All other test ports are one the left side.

• 6 Pin PCI-e Connector

• SATA Power Connector

• 4pin Molex Connector

• Floppy Connector

Instructions and use:

     The instructions shown here are on the packaging. You quite simply plug your PSU in the 24 pin connector, turn on the PSU power switch (if you have one) and your PSU will be operating with the fans running. You then plug in your 12v and accessory lines in one at a time to check their condition.

     Here we are testing the general condition of our PSU and one of the SATA power connector. This is as easy and noob proof as testing gets. If you can read and plug in a connector, you can use the EZ Power Supply Tester 2. The +12v, +3.3v and +5v LED's on the left indicate that out SATA connector is functioning properly. The lights on the right indicate that our PSU is in good working condition.

Conclusion:

     Deciding if you have a bad power switch or blown PSU can be tough without a tester. Sure, you can use a screwdriver to bypass your case switch or jump start your PSU with a paperclip, but this still won't tell you if you have a dead connector or one bad power rail on your PSU. Purchasing a new unit to test your system is costly and grabbing your old 20 pin low power PSU to test your modern power hungry system might not work as planned.

     I personally own the original EZ Power Supply Tester (20 pin only) and have found it quite useful when my system suddenly develops power issues or just plain refuses to start up.  The EZ Power Supply Tester 2 adds 24 pin, 8 pin 12v, SATA and PCI-e connector support the mix, making it useful for all modern power supplies. This products ease of use insures that anyone, regardless of their technical ability can use it properly.

     A power supply tester is a must have tool for any serious computer enthusiast or gamer. The low cost, backward compatibility and versatility of the Casebuy EZ Power Supply Tester 2 puts it at the top of our must have list.
