Abstract
The invention discloses a compute system which may detect the state of a power supply. The system includes a power supply and a motherboard. The power supply has a detecting unit for detecting a power state of the power supply. The detected information is converted to a high-frequency signal and outputted to the motherboard via a “power good” pin in an ATX power connector. The motherboard may obtain a voltage, current, power, temperature and other values inside the power supply via the ATX power connector and allow the values to be displayed on the screen to provide a real-time monitoring function for the users.
