If you have a multi-meter you could measure all of the power supply voltages at the connector.

“All PC power supplies provide at least +5VDC, +12VDC, and -12VDC. Some power supplies also provide +3.3VDC, -5VDC, and/or 5VSB.

Remember that the wire color represents the voltage. Here is pic that shows the color and voltages on a common power supply connector.

Ah, THAT is useful! I only knew about half of ‘em.

Note: Your link works in Chrome but not in Brave.

And I have at least 8 multimeters. :-) Some are specialized, like the Fluke 8060A’s get used mostly for audio work, but are also my most accurate meters.
