testing computer power supplies
Is it bad for a computer power supply to be switched on without a load?
I know it's possible to start the power supply, i get loads of power supplies in from returns but i don't want to chance blowing a mainboard up (i could hook an old cd rom drive up to put a load on 5 and 12v but would like to avoid clutter.) Bart Bervoets |
