Alright I bit the bullet and bought a new BeQuiet! Pure Power 12 M and a Corsair 4000D on Newegg. I noticed the PSU is currently on sale so I just went for it. And now I feel like a jackass after causing a bit of a scene here... 😅😆

I guess just to give an update, but you make a valid point. 🤷‍♂️ Sorry guys.

Sure...or maybe the guy has nearly 30 years of experience and knows what he's talking about...

What brand PSU, how old was it, what did you have connected to it, how many hours a day was it in use, how many watts was it producing and what protections did it have? I refuse to believe that a quality PSU with fail protections can take out a MB when it's not even under heavy use.

Just a quick update...I joined the PSU cultists Discord server and here is what JG himself told me. (At least I think it's the man, the myth, the legend himself lol) Simple, no BS, straight-to-the-point response. Gotta love it! 😁

I think I'm just gonna let it ride. EVGA is known for quality and I've recently seen a video by Gamers Nexus where they stress tested a SuperNova GT model, that gave me pretty good piece of mind. I'll just get a new PSU whenever I get a new case. Maybe even this year if I find a good deal on...

Hmm...see, despite more people telling me "it's fine." - "I've had a crappy PSU for 15 years and hasn't skipped a beat!" etc - it's stories like yours that make me hella anxious! 😅 Like sure, I could get a new PSU...but then I'd have to spend pretty much a whole day tearing down my entire...

Yes but how long was your system in use day by day? How many hours a day was it running and how many hours of said days was it running at full power? Call me crazy but I think all of those things go into factor because like the one guy said, he had an Amiga from 1990 with its original PSU that...

Thanks man! And can you check the specs using software like HWInfo or is that inaccurate? As for the fan, like I said in my OP, I've kept the unit on eco-mode for pretty much its entire lifespan so the fan should only kick on when the unit gets too warm from my understanding. That being said I'm...

Interesting...so in your personal opinion, do you think I need to replace my EVGA Supernova G2 even if it still seems to work just fine? 😅

Damn...what kind of PSU was it? Also, how long was it in service before it went KAPLOOIE! 😆?

See, that's what I was thinking. I had people telling me on Toms Hardware that since the PSU's 10 year warranty is up I better replace it before it explodes or something 😂 And I'm like...if it was some Antec P.O.S that would be a fair point but this is one of the top of the line PSUs, is it...

Send it? 😆 And yeah I already did! In fact I keep it pretty clean. I dust out my PC every 6 months or so, and I did just that a few days ago while doing some Spring cleaning haha. Funnily enough the cheap MX330 Cougar case I got does a pretty decent job at keeping all the dust out. It remains...

Yeah I mean, there's crappy Dells with 12 year old cheapie power supplies that are still kicking! So I dunno...😅 On other forums like Toms Hardware people are saying "OMG GET A NEW PSU BEFORE THAT ONE EXPLODES INTO A FIERY INFERNO!!!" 😂 And I'm just like...really though?? Like it's not some no...
