*resolved*(1.) Question about voltages and (2.) what is a good, inexpensive voltage meter?

The voltages on my Forton FSP350 are actually pretty good, except for one which I can't figure out what it means.

+5VSB: 5.46v (I have confirmed this with both my BIOS and speedfan)

As for the voltage meter, I would appreciate suggestions for good models that are accurate and fairly inexpensive (~$25-35).

Thanks for the help! 🙂

vsb = voltage sure boot
anything close is fine

3.3.3. +5 VSB
+5 VSB is a standby supply output that is active whenever the AC power is present. It provides
a power source for circuits that must remain operational when the five main DC output rails are in
a disabled state. Example uses include soft power control, Wake on LAN, wake-on-modem,
intrusion detection, or suspend state activities.
The +5 VSB output should be capable of delivering a minimum of 2.0 A at +5 V ± 5% to
external circuits. The power supply must be able to provide the required power during a "wake
up" event. If an external USB device generates the event, there may be peak currents as high as
2.5A lasting no more than 500mS.
Overcurrent protection is required on the +5 VSB output regardless of the output current rating.
This ensures the power supply will not be damaged if external circuits draw more current than the
supply can provide.

Thanks for the fast response. That's really dissapointing that my +5VSB is off by 10% as everything else about this power supply is wonderful. 🙁 Oh well.
 
Radio Shack has a digital multimeter for ~$30; works great.
 
Is there anything specific that a multimeter needs? Or do I just plug the probes into the either the 12v or 5v rail with the molex connectors?

Anything else that I need to know about these for a computer?
