A Basic Guide to buy a used PSU

[als519]

Hi Folks.. (WTPG)
Today, i am gonna help you on buying a PSU online from PG Members and Friends .
What the basic info we need is The condition of PSU + its stability at load (PSU voltage rating really go fall after 1~2 operating years.. )

U can see, this is 100% Stress Load on CPU using ORTHOS PRIME for 1 Min..

Voltage at +12v is 10.93 (avg.. 11.03)
For stress test, you can also use INTEL BURN TEST v2.0 or higher

Core Temp results:

i have checked with a DMM (Realtime testing)
there is a lil difference i-e +/- 0.05 volts.

CPU-ID, "Hardware Monitor" shows wrong voltage info. this software works fine

does that mean if the voltage is around 12v then the psu is fine
