I thought those cheap USB power testers were a total gimmick... until one saved me from a bad motherboard swap.

My buddy almost fried his whole rig, but his cheap tester showed the PSU was spiking before he plugged anything in.

Man, that reminds me of my old multimeter. The thing would give a different reading if you breathed on it too hard. I tried checking a wall outlet once and it just blinked "OL" at me for everything, even the good sockets. Ended up trusting a friend's gut feeling more than that junk. Sometimes the cheap stuff just adds to the mystery.

Honestly, that sounds more like a lucky break than a reliable tool.
