That tester is a generic model which goes under several names but it certainly does the job and I can recommend it. I tested my other PSUs and they both came up with healthy voltages of 12.1v and 12.2v.
Looking around for a replacement PSU, I looked at Seasonic and Corsair amongst others.
I finally decided to go with a 400w PSU made in Germany by BeQuiet!.
BeQuiet! PSUs have received rave reviews and my one certainly lives up to its name.
The only noise is from the CPU fan.
The other option is to get rid of it altogether.
Power in this country is stupidly expensive, and noise on top of that all day is a no-no for me. Couple of pi3's fixed that in this house.
