    PSU Test

    Would anyone be able to give me any advice on how i would go about testing my PSU?

    I have a digital multimeter and could do with knowing acceptable and unacceptable voltages.
    Also if it is a modular psu do i need to check all the available plugs?
    Which terminals on the PCIE plug do i need to check and what voltage do they need to be.

    Thank you for any help

    The PSU in question is a Tagan Easycon 580w
