I have a 750watt PSU. I would like to test components individually to measure Wattage.
Would anyone care to elaborate on the best way to test this?
Are there any components susceptible to some kind of damage by powering one component at a time via the PSU on a test bench?
As I state above:
I intend on plugging in Motherboard then inserting the socket from PSU into the wall then powering on the PSU and measuring the watts of components.
I will repeat the process above on each component(s), again, INDIVIDUALLY: Motherboard and essential components i.e (Ram, CPU, and CPU Fan), then Case Fans, then RGB lights (NZXT), and finally GPUs.
Ideally, I would like to test the motherboard w/o CPU and ram and so on.
This also brings up the question of GPU, can you power a GPU in another fashion... I mean I guess if i can get the motherboard powered i can subtract the reading.
Curious on your thoughts, let me know. I just built a test bench!!!
