Hey guys... You've all helped me out before, and I have been looking for a PSU tester, but all I seem to find are those ones that have the leds that say OK or not OK

What can I use to actually find the voltage coming out of my psu??

And preferably the AMPS as well.... but if not oh well.... the voltage will do..

I thought I read somewhere I could use something like a multimeter to do it, but can't recall how or what exactly it was I could use...

Thanks in advance!!

Get a digital multimeter. Those PSU testers are a joke.

I have a digital multimeter....

THis one here: http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...%5Fid=22%2D810

i bought it a few years ago to test a cpu unlock where you connect the L1 bridges.. and that is about as far as i used it....

I hate to be a pain, but what settings would I use, the thing has all kinds of settings on it?!?!

Set it on DC V 20. Use the black on black, and use the red on yellow for 12V and red on red for 5V.
