How do i set up multimeter? do I use both of the measuring sticks (if thats what there called)? and can i damage my card if i set the multimeter wrong?

Thanks for any help.

no

just set it to the right voltage range and your gtg

Sorry what do i use ac or dc, and whats the right range?

is ac 0.000v the right one?

nay, first off, computer components are DC then you choose the voltage option that is closest to the actual voltages you will be measuring - i presume they will be around 1.4-1.6v and if so you will want one that displays the volts just like that

probably labelled something like 0.000 like you suggested, just make sure its just Volts not any of the others like kV or mV

if you have a 1.5v battery around try it on that

Ok i got it set on DC, and I got it set on "v" not "mv", and it seems to be hovering around 0.000, is it ready to use?

And at this link there's a spot labeled "vgpu messure"

do i stick both prongs in there, or just one of them?

thanks

Fusion Racing

yeh it will hover around 0, just try holding each prong in your hands and see if it changes at all... they usually do ever so slightly

put the red prong in the measure hole, and put the black one on your case

If i move it around the computer it goes up to almost 0.2 right in front of the monitor, but if I hold back away it goes back down to 0.000,

Ok i think i understand it, thanks allot for your help.

RandomGuy

I guess I'm doing something wrong, I stick the thing in there and it reads 0.042v??

It reads a 1.5v AA battery as 1.6v so i guess its kind of working

RandomGuy

I'm wondering, did I even get the right one?

Oh, and it doesn't read 0.042v, I had it set wrong,(and probably still do) when I stick the red tester lead in the hole and the black to ground it reads 000.0v.

RandomGuy

Ok never mind, I have to measure it while its running.
