Question How to check/monitor PSU for hours?

[drthrd]

My computer is freezing up. I have checked my memory now I need to check my PSU. I was thinking about getting the Thermaltake Dr. Power II tester. But that does not constantly monitor the PSU. Is there a tester that will monitor your PSU constantly and show any abnormal voltages and currents?

You get a different PSU. One that supports monitoring with logging.

Besides Corsair who supports that? You test and monitor PSUs, besides getting a PSU that supports that what would you recommend?

Hey JG. I posted a thread once suggesting that the ATX spec should be revised, to allow using the unused -5V (or -12V) lines on the ATX 24-pin connector, as I2C data channels, to allow bi-directional communication between the mobo and the PSU. What do you think? It would be a minimal increase in cost for system-integrators (no separate USB cable), and I have no idea what additional costs the PSU maker would entail, for a control board, or integration with the existing control board in a PSU.

Instead now Intel has eliminated all but the 12V and left all other voltage regulation to the motherboard. Go figure.
