Question PSU Tester readout

[ledge97]

Hi could someone tell me if this power supply is healthy please ? I'm not to clued up on the readouts, but some of the voltages look as though they are running 0.1 lower than the suggested voltage and +3.3v is fluctuating between 3.2 and 3.3.

I had the power supply connected to an extension cable (if this makes a difference). Thought this was a handy tool to have since I built my own computer, just need to someone to clarify these readings.

I'm not sure how to display the photo as copying url from pinterest didn't work ?

And to my knowledge there is a +/- 5% tolerance on each rail for the ATX standard.

The PDF under the Datasheets and Specifications have everything you want to know.

But here is a summery

Voltage Rail Tolerance
+3.3VDC ±5%
+5VDC ±5%
+12VDC ±5%
-12VDC ±10%
+5VSB ±5%

Okay Its a mini itx board. Also do I need to download the app ?

I've never used the app, I just use the website and in the top left there is a "New Post" button to click and you can upload files.

Looks fine.

Could i have fried my psu by using a psu tester wrong? All the written voltages showed normal on lcd screen on all cables within voltage tolerance with no abnormal beeps. I could only get green leds tho on one type 3 outlet coming from my psu that ended on a 4pin molex. 5/12v leds lit up like they were supposed too. Then i swapped to another type 3 cable that ended on a sata. All three voltages lit up with green leds then my 24pin came loose and rapidly plugged and unplugged a few times while psu was on. Flipped switch and unplugged now no green leds anywhere. I think my psu was already bad, but can plugging and unplugging 24pin from tester with psu on fry your psu? I want to use tester on new psu if i order one, but dont want to fry new one either. (Only put one extra cable in tester at time besides 24/8 pins for cpu/mobo.

I swapped from type 3 ending 4pin molex to type three ending in sata by swapping modular cable for sata to same outlet my molex was plugged in to.
