Customer Review: Nice Unit!
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros:
Shows one decimal place precision measurements of +3.3V, +5V, +12V, +12V (second rail), and +5V standby via a nice blue backlit LCD display.
Displays the time in milliseconds it takes for the Power Good signal to go high (this is open drain) on the LCD (3 digits).
Shows go / no-go voltages on SATA / 4-pin MOLEX / floppy connectors via green LEDs.
Cons:
I would like another decimal place on the voltage measurements, but this is just a tiny con as one decimal place is sufficient for the tolerances involved (+/- 5% & 10%).
SATA connector isn't keyed, but putting it on backwards shouldn't destroy anything.
It isn't obvious which way the motherboard connector goes on as it doesn't have the lock mechanism and is a fairly tight fit.
No manual, just slightly confusing minimal text on the back of the display card - not a big deal as this unit is really simple.
Other thoughts:
The unit I received has a power button on the front, which you have to hold depressed for the unit to operate. This makes sense as it must load the supply and heat up somewhat. They must have updated the design without updating the pix.
The go / no-go LEDs that everyone is crabbing about make perfect sense to me - the voltages themselves are already measured at the mobo connector.
