Review on πŸ’» Optimal Shop 4 Digit PCI & ISA Motherboard Power Diagnostic Analyzer Tester Card: Efficient PC Computer Post Tester by Kyle Smithlin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works on older systems

It is important to note that most modern BIOSes do not send a POST code to a standard I/O address. This change happened around the time PCIe replaced PCI, so there are motherboards with PCI slots that don't show anything useful on that card. It worked for me on a Socket 939 board but not on an AM2 board. However, on older (and legacy) systems, these cards are a very handy tool. The built-in buzzer comes in handy when testing outside the case. The instructions are useless, so if you don't know how to use them, search YouTube. There are many videos explaining how they work.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • High price
