@sabineemden@mastodon.online @neuralex@neurodifferent.me Tbh unless it's a really shitty knockoff (which the first psu was), it should not happen to anything in the "office computer" category. These were gaming rigs, and also really shitty power grid (I'm on ups now). Something to note that the second psu (1000 watt monster) was supplying uninterrupted power to the running Skyrim while on fire, until I turned everything off normally. Then I ordered a new one, and a colleague "borrowed" my smoky one "for a quick test" and used it for a few months afterwards (no longer on fire, just smoking), until he got the money for a full new rig. Begged him not to and told him I'm not responsible if he burns his flat down or gets lung cancer. Madman.

@sabineemden@mastodon.online @neuralex@neurodifferent.me I had one graphics card and two psus burst into flames in maybe two decades, so that's a blatant lie.
