Doing so without proper precautions, knowledge, and tools can give you a lethal shock.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Before proceeding, we want to emphasize a few points. First, testing the output of your PSU using the methods outlined below is very safe. Opening up the actual PSU to access the \u201cguts\u201d of the unit is not and will expose you to both line-level electricity coming from the wall and to the capacitors in the PSU. Touching the wrong thing inside the body of the PSU has the potential to stop your heart.<\/p>\n<p>If your PSU is malfunctioning, the safest thing to do is simply replace it. Attempting to replace large capacitors, transformers, or other internal PSU components is an advanced electronics repair and hardly worth it, given how relatively inexpensive PSUs are.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Familiarize_Yourself_with_the_ATX_Pinouts\"><\/span>Familiarize Yourself with the ATX Pinouts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Before we proceed, let\u2019s take a peek at the 20\/24-pin connector to familiarize ourselves with the layout and the expected voltages.<\/p>\n<p>We used <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/psu.jangreis.org\/\">a handy pinout planner<\/a> created by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/buildapc\/comments\/9slmss\/cable_sleeving_power_supply_pinout_generator\/\">Reddit user \/u\/JohnOldman0<\/a> to make the diagram below and recommend the tool for anyone planning a custom cable project.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-834033 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/PSUTest1.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"a 24-pin ATX connector with voltage labeling.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"341\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re holding the connector with the clip up, the numbering scheme starts on the bottom left, reads 1-12 on the bottom row, and then 13-24 on the top row, for a 24-pin connector. For the purpose of this article, when we use the term \u201ctop\u201d we mean \u201cclip up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For a 20-pin connector, it\u2019s 1-10 and 11-20, respectively, though it\u2019s worth noting that the location of the actual voltages doesn\u2019t change even if the pin number does. The standard 24-pin ATX connector simply adds an additional 4 pins onto the 20-pin connector while preserving the original layout.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Power_Down_The_PSU\"><\/span>Power Down The PSU<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If your PSU has a switch, turn it off. If it is powered on automatically when connected to an outlet, unplug it.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, you need the power off PSU\u2014not just turn off your computer\u2014before proceeding to the next steps.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disconnect_the_Component_Cables\"><\/span>Disconnect the Component Cables<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to remove your PSU from your PC if you\u2019re trying to troubleshoot the PSU in place, but you should disconnect all the power leads (not just the one you are testing) to play it safe.<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s unlikely things will go so wrong as to damage adjacent components while you test a particular cable, there\u2019s no reason to risk it when it only takes a few seconds to remove the power leads to your GPU, drives, and such.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jumper_the_Power_On_Pin\"><\/span>Jumper the Power On Pin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first pins you should pay attention to are the power supply on pin and the adjacent grounds. You need to bridge the power supply on pin (which is pin number 16 on the 24-pin readout, fourth from the left on the top) to the ground pin on either side, as seen in the ATX pinout diagram above.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-834255 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/PSUMulti1.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"A PSU power cable with a jumper across the power on and ground pin.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-credittext=\"Jason Fitzpatrick\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Jason Fitzpatrick<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You can jump the 16 pin either to the 15 or the 17 pin (both of which are ground pins). In the photo above you can see we\u2019ve jumped the 15 and 16 using a short length of paper clip bent in a U-shape. The lack of insulation here isn\u2019t a big deal as the jumper only carries 24 volts and you won\u2019t be touching it during the test.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use scrap piece of 18AWG or 16AWG wire. There\u2019s also <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B01N8Q0TOE\/?tag=lsmedia-11061-20\">simple ATX 24-pin PSU jumper bridge tools<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The bridge tool has little numbers stamped on it for each of the pinout locations, which is useful if you want a clear indicator which pin is which without counting. (Though be forewarned that some multimeters have probes just a smidge too short to reach through the bridge, which makes it difficult to tap the pins and check the voltage.)<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn_the_PSU_On\"><\/span>Turn the PSU On<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once you have jumpered the power on pin to a ground pin, turn the PSU back on. You should hear and see the fan spin up on the PSU. Some PSUs feature fan that only briefly spins up during the power-up process and then is set to idle until the PSU temperature rises\u2014so don\u2019t be alarmed if the fan spins and then stops a few seconds later.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Testing_the_Pins_with_Your_Digital_Multimeter\"><\/span>Testing the Pins with Your Digital Multimeter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Testing your PSU with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/INNOVA-3320-Auto-Ranging-Digital-Multimeter\/dp\/B000EVYGZA\/?tag=lsmedia-11061-20\">a digital multimeter<\/a> isn\u2019t wildly different from using a PSU tester, the primary difference is that instead of a little microchip doing the calculations and giving the thumbs up or thumbs down, you get the hands-on experience of being the microchip and interpreting the data yourself.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, you need to turn on your multimeter and set the reading to DCV. If your multimeter is \u201cauto-ranging,\u201d there\u2019s no need to do anything, if you need to set a range set it to 10V.<\/p>\n<p>Put the black multimer probe on any of the grounded pins. For a standard 24-pin ATX connector, that\u2019s pin 3, 5, 7, 15, 17, 18, 19, or 24. We\u2019ll be using pin 15 because its location directly adjacent to the power jumper means it\u2019s easy to identify.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-834286\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/PSUMulti3.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>With the black probe on a grounded pin, touch it to any other pin and confirm that the readout is as expected.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you ground out on pin 15 and touch pin 12, the readout should be 3.3V (or within \u00b15% of 3.3V). You can see in the photo above that our 15-pin to 12-pin connection is dead on with a 3.3V readout.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat this process for all the pins, confirming that the voltage readout is within the acceptable range. If the values aren\u2019t within range, it\u2019s time to replace the PSU. Here\u2019s that ATX power connection pinout again, for reference.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-834033 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/PSUTest1.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"a 24-pin ATX connector with voltage labeling.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"341\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>And here are the pinouts for the 8-pin (4+4) ATX\/PCIe, the 8-pin (6+2) ATX\/PCIe, and the Molex drive connector if you\u2019d like to test those pins too.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-834288 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/PSUTest2.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"PCIe and Molex connectors with a voltage reference chart.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"341\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Like with the larger 24-pin power connector, simply ground out your black multimeter probe on a known ground (any of the black pins above) and then touch the red probe to the other pins to check their voltage. You should check them for the same \u00b15% range.<\/p>\n<p>In the interest of protecting your hardware, we\u2019re not even going to suggest wiggle room parameters here. If one or more of the readouts are outside the \u00b15% range, just replace the PSU and save yourself the headaches that come from a failing power supply.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
