does anyone know of a website you can go to and check the UL number of a PSU to see if it is a decent PSU or crap?

i am trying to look up E175472 from my PSU

Its made by E175472 Fore Point Industrial Ltd

Don't know them, but if I had to guess I'd say el crapo.

Usually I just google the number. And I find someone reputable that says what it is.

You shouldn't really rely on software programs to monitor voltage etc. as they are inaccurate.

I think SiSoftware SANDRA will tell you too.

some of us work you know. Like Dan said Software is off bad. Software says my 12V rail is 5.05V, where as a multimeter says 12.02 right on the money. I suggest a multimeter
