You can match the ripple voltage readings from a review with those taken on a power supply in a PC by using similar measurement techniques and tools. Even without dedicated DC loads, you can still assess accuracy if you have access to a setup like a PC with differential probes and capacitors configured properly. Keep in mind that a PC environment introduces various transients and task-related fluctuations, so comparing requires careful consideration of these factors.

I’m unable to respond directly (though not too deeply into PSU testing), but this article should assist you further. Check it out here: Additionally, you might find the videos helpful—Steve from GamersNexus explains PSU details in a good way.

Thank you for the materials! It helped that the first article you shared sparked the original inquiry. The GN videos are certainly helpful, though perhaps too broad for the precise topic I have in mind. Thank you!
