If you’re an enthusiast, overclocker, or reviewer on the hunt for a top-tier power measurement device, the newly upgraded ElmorLabs PMD2 might be just what you’re looking for. Specifically designed for those who need detailed insights into their PC’s power usage, the PMD2 is not just for the casual user. Instead, it offers advanced features to suit the needs of serious tech aficionados.
This second-generation device builds upon its predecessor, the PMD-USB, by providing more comprehensive measurement capabilities. It now supports up to two EPS 8-pin and three PCIe 8-pin connectors, along with the new ATX 24-pin power measurement option. This means the PMD2 can effectively monitor the power throughput from your PSU to the PC, capturing the power flow essential for system operations.
Perhaps one of the most exciting updates is the inclusion of a cutting-edge 12VHWPR connector that supports the latest graphics cards using the 12V-2×6 standard. This connector alone can handle up to a 51A continuous load, making it ideal for supporting the demands of modern high-performance builds.
The PMD2 doesn’t just stop at hardware upgrades; it comes equipped with a 2.4-inch OLED screen, offering clear and detailed readings for all power metrics, including voltage, current, and overall power consumption. Users can view these details per connector, thanks to an enhanced microcontroller, promising faster and more accurate readings.
For those who love data analysis, the PMD2’s oscilloscope functionality allows for comprehensive data logging, which can be easily managed through Elmor’s software tools. Connectivity is a cinch with its USB Type-C port, providing additional opportunities for extended readings and logging.
Safety features include a buzzer for audible warnings and customizable menu options for parameters like averaging and overcurrent protection (OCP). Plus, users can keep their device up to date with firmware updates via USB.
Offered at a competitive price of $99, the ElmorLabs PMD2 is now available for purchase, making it an enticing option for tech-savvy individuals who thrive on precision and performance in power measurement tasks.
