I was not gaming. The PC did shutdown unexpectedly though. Some smoke due to the components burning. Not enough to see but I could smell it a bit. The card is clean and never been overclocked.

Also, all of the complaints I am reading make reference to them being unreliable and having poor quality caps. I haven't see anything with power quality issues or over power scenarios.

Ok, but it is not cheap in the sense that it is some chinese knock off that I can assume would cause me issues. With this level of psu I would assume they are not going to fry components. Regardless, this seems to be a little off topic. I am trying to figure out if anyone knows what components...

Its not a cheap psu.

Can you elaborate on the implications of that comment? Do you think that indicates a possible overpower situation coming from my psu?

I had a GTX 960 burn some components near the power connector. Can anyone tell me what components those are? I am curious if this is a common issue with older cards. This card is about 3-4 years old. I am concerned that I am having some psu issues that could have caused this that may damage...
