Question My Dr.Power Thermaltake III PSU Tester says everything is good on my 10 year old PSU but is there anything else I should check?

I mean the fan spins and there's no weird noises or smells. I used the auto test mode and it's supposed to beep and turn red if there's an issue but none of that happened. My power supply is a EVGA Supernova 850W B2 80+ Bronze. Here's some pictures of my power supply tester.

well, its only got a 5 year warranty so its really up to you if you trust it or not. The makers only trusted/Guaranteed it to last 5 years.

They aren't the ones using it so once again, its your choice.
You just won't get any support from them if it takes other parts with it when it dies.

I wouldn't but then its not my choice

Static testers are only good to confirm a dead psu.
They say nothing about the proper operation.

If you suspect the psu for whatever problem you are having(details would help) the best you can do is to replace the psu with a known good psu of sufficient capability.

Fixed my images. Also the PSU seems to function fine I just wonder if there's something I'm overlooking when doing an inspection. I put my hand near the exhaust vent and it seems quite cool too.

A 10-year old PSU is like a 20-year old car. It could stop working at any time. Electrolytics get hot, wear out, start leaking and occasionally explode.

A PSU tester won't tell you brown goo is leaking out of a capacitor and the top is starting to bulge.

It won't show the ripple voltage has exceeded the ATX spec because the electrolytic capacitors are drying out.

Do yourself a favour. If your PSU has a 5-year warranty and it's 10 years old, play safe and replace it.

Alternatively, carry on using it and keep your fingers crossed it won't destroy your computer when it eventually dies.

If it does cremate your entire PC, don't worry, it only costs money to replace and I'm sure all your data is backed up elsewhere.

Are you having a problem??
If so, describe the nature of the problem and the full make/model specs of your system.
