lol, no one seems to like my psu (I also started a thread under the new build forum). Someone else said that checking with power meter wouldn't tell me if my PSU can handle the load. I don't know how to check that so I asked him (still waiting for response). I am a little confused about the exact definition of breadboarding (seems to be thrown around alot with differing definitions). This is what I am doing. Minimal components just to get a POST response (cpu, hsf, mobo, psu, case power switch, and case speaker). Mobo is on a wooden block (old wooden cutting board (got that idea from another thread). I grounded myself and plugged surge protector into outlet (grounded and getting power). Does anyone know how to check if my PSU can "handle the load"
