| Nov 4, 2018 at 7:53 | comment | added | rajeev | @sawdust I understand your point about opinion based question. This question is like asking a medical practitioner why am I having headache. There are diverse but definite reasons for this symptom. Similarly there must be definite set of reasons for this technical behavior & one of more must be true. A subject matter expert who knows the exact integration of ATX PSU with ATX Mobo should be in a position of answering this question. As described in the question, I have already driven the car and found that it's faulty. | |

| Nov 3, 2018 at 23:22 | comment | added | sawdust | A PSU that "works well" with no load but is questionable with a load is IMO a PSU that is faulty and needs replacement. Passing a no-load test only indicates that the PSU is not dead-as-a-doornail. It is not an accurate indicator of the true condition of the PSU. You need to test a PSU under full load. It's like buying a used car, and accepting that it "works" since the car's engine does start. Wouldn't you take the car on a road test to be sure it's driveable? | |
