Hi guys, anybody here can help and advise how to test my PSU extension cables to make sure all the power supply to my system is running smoothly?

I just bought my PSU extension cables from Taobao and they dont clip that well with my motherboard and GPU. I am able to use my PC but how do i check to make sure everything is working fine?

Sorry for the long post :s12:

Erm how detailed do you want?

Buy oscilloscope, clip to GPU 12V connector, set trigger to 98% of average value?

Furmark for 24 hours and see if errors?

Do some CPu / GPU stress testing/benchmarking. If you dun smell any burn on psu / mobo side, it should be ok. If not crimp properly, at most your psu will auto shut off if it has that feature.

Without a proper crimp, the cable will detach from the eps connector once u pulled the cable. Try secure by catching the latch by the clip.
