Be a bit tough to pull all 4 to meter and back to 4... most Digi's have a 10amp max for like 15 seconds max (or some such thing) or at least mine does on the high current range.....
I'm interested in a measurement of the voltage drop of the PSUs +5V rail, while the PC is at high load.
Not the amperage draw.
That should give us an estimation of how close the PSU is to "running out of steam" so to speak 😀
