Tester cannot test for all that a meter does. A best power supply test is when fully under load - in the system. A power supply disconnected cannot be properly tested. Also note voltages - the numbers. Numbers are not the published ATX limits. I asked for numbers - not the subjective "power supply is good" - for this reason.
Tw. Belive it or not but I went to electronic school years ago. And have maybe more meters laying around than most folks. Meters lie. How many people think even know how to calibrate there meter? Are you telling me that the tester doesn't simulate a load? Well maybe not, but my son said was bad. I said no because I've taken readings w/voa meter. Anyhow a new PS fixed it.
