Damn that's scary. What PSU + model was it? I might have to cross that off my mental safe list :D

Corsair something something. I’ll find the model tomorrow. Might not have been the psu though. My laptop charger is busted too and my laptop trackpad is acting up now. They shared an outlet. Both used surge protectors though

In case anyone is curious: it was the video card. A capacitor I think. Potentially caused by the psu but the fire was the gpu…
