Question / Issue

How do I test my power supply?

Answer / Solution

Please read below or watch the video HERE.

In order to test your EVGA power supply, the

first thing you will want to try is known as the

jumper test (aka the PSU paper-clip test, jump

starting, etc.) as this will allow us to verify the

device's functionality without needing it to be

connected to any other components from your

system. This process is relatively safe as it

does not deal with dangerous voltages, and

there should be no need for direct contact with live wires, however please be sure to take any

precautions necessary to prevent issues from occurring.

This test can help identify the following issues:

Internal short circuits

Failed components

Power connected to PSU

What this test cannot identify:

Voltage fluctuations

Overheating

Power Output (failing power rails)

Issues with capacity

To perform the jumper test:

1. Turn the on the back of the PSU to the off position ("O" pressed in)

2. If you have the , attach it to the end of the 24 pin connector

(shown right).

Otherwise use a bare metal paperclip, or a wire, to connect the green pin (PS_ON)

3.  If your PSU is not connected to your mains power, plug in the wall cable now.
4.  At this point, you can use the same   as before to turn the PSU on and
the fan should begin to spin which should verify that the power supply has turned
on.
 
If your PSU has ECO Mode, make sure this is set to off!
