The tester is useless. Get a 3.5 digit multimeter - a completely different item - as sold in Sears, Radio Shack, Tru-Value Hardware, K-mart, Lowes ... A tool that will report on all components is a power supply 'system' - more than just a power supply. A tool that will provide numbers so that others can add additional assistance. Tester does none of that.

Best price (under $20) for this commodity tool will probably be in Wal-mart. Required tool is sold as a commodity - much like screwdrivers. Tester is a unique (exotic) tool that does nothing useful for your problem.

If CPU is Intel, then a seized CPU fan would cause no harm.
