Faulty power supply

[HelloJon]

I have an EVGA 500w 80+ power supply. I have used it for about a week but bought it over two months ago. Anyway my problem is that the power supply won't work unless I bend the power plug a certain way. For now i'm fine with doing this but in the case the plug slips and flickers off (im using an external graphics card with gdc beast v8.0) could it burn out the graphics card or the mini pcie dock for my gpu?

I didn't know the waranty was that long so thanks for the link . But in the mean time is it save to connect my power supply to my gpu even with the faulty wire? (it makes static/clicking noise when I don't press down on the plug)

No it is not safe do not connect you will risk your gpu and will void the gpu and anything connected to it's warranty.
