Is this a recommended unit to trouble shoot computers? Power supplies, Motherboards etc, Thanks

Yes excellent for that, my only issue is that it says 20amps but it only has a 13amp fuze

The unit is designed to measure voltage, amperage, resistance (ohms), dc, ac, at all levels. So whether it is a computer, TV, Stereo, outlets or lights it is a terrific tool to diagnose problems in those areas assuming you know with the readings should be. I used it to measure brownouts in my neighborhood when the power company would lower the voltage during peak demand periods. I saw the voltage drop from a normal 120 VAC to 108 and when I lost some electronics, the power company reimbursed me. As voltage drops current increases (ohms law) so the electronics get fried. I hope his helps.

Check PS. New does not mean good, Check memory chips by inserting only one at a time (I have had bad memory out of the box cause the same issue). Remove MOBO and fire it on table top with minimum items connected.I built two computers with these cases.. no issues.

Get a larger one such as 1000 +, that will give you enough for later add-ons. Don't scrimp on the PSU at all. Over worked PSU's are not good.

John, I'm sorry. It turns out that the problem with my computer was unrelated to the card. As for upgrading your PSU, I'm not sure if I would be able to give you useful advice.

I have a single unit (not overclocked because I don't wan't to void the manufacturer's warranty) powered by a Corsair RM750. It's a well-built, gold certified modular psu with a massive heat sink. I've had it running 24/7 and have had exactly zero issues with it.

Hi Joseph, my Lepa 1600W PSU failed on me after a few days of operation but, thank God, no components were damaged. I've read good things about this PSU so my problem was the exception rather than the rule. Just a WAG on my part but I imagine your experience will be better than mine; in any case, the most important thing to me is it didn't take out anything else when it failed.

depends on how cheap your PSU is. If you buy a good brand you should be fine. I prefer Antec.

No problem with mine. I only use it with a power supply, and it works perfectly.

Iam not an expert but when I part out a system Ive never had a problem with ASUS if there is any question with the hardware go to ASUS website an ask the techs in support they have allways responded back with advice for the hardware

The psu is fine for any low power processor that only uses a 4 pin 12v atx power connector. it also doesn't have any 6 pin pci connectors. as far as reliability, i wouldn't trust it for more than a few weeks. Go with a corsair CX500 or CX600 for a basic computer.

No, case only, I wouldn't trust a power supply unit in a $40 tower anyway (if it did come with one which it doesn't) but Im just saying, its far to dangerous. Better to get a quality PSU.

I haven't had a bit of a problem with my computer, The best one I have ever had. Send it to the Mfg and see if they can fix it.I'm sure Amazon can help you with that. Might be a bad bunch.

My power supply is similar and I have been using it for about a year now with no issues. I also use dual monitors. I'd at least try it out.

The one I had lasted 3 years running almost constantly. My video card went bad and took it with it. I upgraded to an 800 Watt Thermaltake model when I replaced the video card. You didn't mention what else you are running like additional hard drives or DVD / CD drives. It's a good, dependable power supply, so it may be all you need. Personally, I would go a little bigger.

The usage range is very limited. Be careful on purchase. I got one here....no power supply and the motherboard was fried.

The power supply in your machine could be problematic. You should research that issue!

That shouldn't be necessary. If you had read through all of the reviews, it's been stated a few times, that the older power supply- which people were having problems with- has been replaced in this build.
