It really comes down to PSU's build quality.
I prefer to classify PSUs into 5 tiers, based on build quality:
* great quality (essentially best what money could buy)
* good quality (cheaper than great quality, while still good enough for everyday use)
* mediocre quality (not enough for dedicated GPU PCs, but can suffice for office PCs which never sees any high loads on hardware)
* low quality (cheap PSUs, not worth the money they cost)
* crap quality (cheapest of them all, with high risk of catastrophic hardware failure. Including PSU catching fire, burning down homes with loss of life.)
The worse build quality the PSU has - the higher of a chance of PSU frying everything it is connected to. And in worst case scenario, catching fire, burning down home with possible loss of life. Like this example,
article:
https://www.thesundaily.my/archive/...wer-supply-unit-computer-updated-LTARCH461974
E.g with great quality PSUs, that chance of hardware killing is slim to none, since great quality PSUs are built with utmost care and have several, working protections in them, to safeguard the hardware they are powering. Usually what happens with great quality PSU and when their protections are tripped, they shut down the PC without any harm to the rest of the components.
On the other end of the spectrum are crap quality PSUs and these are really the worst. Essentially built just to steal money from unsuspecting customers. As of why these crap quality PSUs are even allowed to be sold, well that's difficult to answer. But the bottom of it is, that none of the PSUs are tested by government regulatory body beforehand, to see if the PSU is either good or bad. And to test each and every PSU beforehand, takes way too much time, effort, money and manpower, that it would be essentially impossible to do.
If you think about it, does any other product get tested by government regulatory body before it is allowed to sell for the masses?
🤔 Usually the sale is allowed based on the good word of the manufacturer that the product is safe. And when issues arise, manufacturer makes a recall (prime example:
Takata airbag recall). Or when product has serious risk to the health, after people have found out the hard way and reported it, then government regulatory body steps in, tests that specific product and if needed, bans the sale of that product.

Btw, i specialize on PC hardware and PSUs are the ones i know most about. Because PSU powers everything and thus, is the most important component inside the PC.
When it comes to PSUs, you need reasons to buy the PSU, not the reasons to reject the PSU. And most important factor, on knowing if PSU is good or not, is:
* review by a REPUTABLE reviewer.
Because it takes independent 3rd party reputable reviewer, who tests the PSU and shares their findings with masses, so people can learn about the truth of the PSU (what PSU does good, what PSU lacks and if it is even worth your money).
Anyone can take olliscope and hook the PSU on it, make some tests and call the PSU good. That doesn't mean the PSU is actually good. What it takes, is reputable reviewer, e.g our own in-house PSU reviewer: Aris Mpitziopoulos who has written PSU reviews for Tom's Hardware and who is also founder of Cybenetics (
https://www.cybenetics.com/), which puts PSUs through far more in-depth testing than ATX PSU standard specifies.
Or Jon Gerow (aka jonnyguru), who is the de facto guy when it comes to PSUs. jonnyguru has reviewed loads of PSUs in his years and he is currently working at Corsair as director of PSU engineering.
Other reputable PSU reviewers include, but are not limited to, are: Steve Burke (GamersNexus), Hardware Secrets, PC Perspective, [H]ard OCP, AnandTech, KitGuru, Tech Power Up.
So, when it comes to PSU, it must have:
* official specs site
* review by reputable reviewer (preferably several reviews by several reputable reviewers)
Good to haves are:
* cybenetics report
* long warranty
* high efficiency
* good standing in PSU Tier list (

* good PSU brand reputation
* good PSU OEM (the one who made the PSU)
So, lets take your PSU and see what it has, or has not. I'll also include my own PSU as a comparison.
You have AeroCool Lux RGB 750W PSU. I have Seasonic PRIME 650 80+ Titanium PSU [SSR-650TD].
Official specs;
your PSU:

my PSU:

Reputable review(s);
I could not find any review of your PSU, let alone reputable review. That's a bad sign.

Cybenetics report;
While Cybenetics has tested 4x Aerocool PSUs, none are Lux RGB series.
My PSU, name listed as:"Prime Titanium 650W":
https://www.cybenetics.com/index.php?option=database¶ms=2,0,12
Warranty;
I could not find your PSU warranty length from official specs nor anywhere on Aerocool site. That's another bad sign. Had to research it and found one Latvian store, where it says your PSU has 2 year warranty (1 year if buying as business representative), source:
https://www.dateks.lv/en/cenas/psu-barosanas-bloki/260514-aerocool-lux-rgb-750w-80plus-bronze
My PSU has 12 years of warranty. Listed in official specs. Also, 12 years of warranty is the longest warranty there is for PSU, and Seasonic PRIME and Vertex series PSUs are only ones in entire world, who have 12 years of warranty. Other high-end PSUs, at most, have 10 years of warranty.
Efficiency;
Your PSU is 80+ Bronze. 80+ Bronze PSUs were the norm ~15 years ago, while today, norm is 80+ Gold PSUs.
My PSU is 80+ Titanium. The highest efficiency there is.
PSU Tier list;
Your PSU is Tier D.
My PSU is Tier A, in single-rail section.
Brand reputation;
Aerocool was founded in 2001 and it started to produce PC thermal products (thermal paste). Some years later, Aerocool expanded their product line with CPU coolers, fans and multi-functional control panels. At some point, Aerocool started to manufacture PC cases, PSUs and even furniture (gaming chairs, tables). Though, as of late, underlying connection for their products is: RGB. Since pretty colors is cheap way to draw in sales.
So, a brand that used to specialize on PC cooling, but now produces plethora of different products, without specializing in any of them.
Seasonic was founded in 1975 (48 years ago) and Seasonic started to manufacture electronic test equipment. In 1981, Seasonic stated producing PSUs for workstations and servers. In 1995, Seasonic developed the ATX PSU, which now is the standard for all PSUs in PCs. 2003 was the year when Seasonic entered into consumer PSU market and started to make consumer PSUs. In 2009, Seasonic was the 1st in entire world, who made 80+ Gold efficiency PSU (X-series). 2021 saw the release of Syncro PC case, that is custom built to house Seasonic Connect PSU (intorduced in 2019), which simplifies cable management. In 2022, Seasonic released their MagFlow fans with innovative magnetic connection.
Full history here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Sonic#History
Seasonic is a manufacturer (OEM) that specializes in PSUs. Seasonic is 3rd oldest PSU OEM in the world. 2nd oldest is Delta Electronics and the oldest one is Flextronics.
OEM reputation;
I could not find OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) of your PSU. Meaning, i have 0 clue who actually made your PSU. Aerocool is just a brand, taking PSU from PSU OEM and slapping their name onto it.
My PSU is made by Seasonic itself. Seasonic is one of the best (if not the best) PSU OEM in entire world. Other great PSU OEMs include: Super Flower (founded 1991) and Flextronics (founded 1969). Seasonic has made PSUs for: Antec, Cooler Master, Corsair (e.g AX-series), EVGA, NZXT, Riotoro, Silverstone and XFX as well.
After reading all that (yes, it was a long read), which of the two PSUs you'd use? Your Aerocool brand PSU? Or my Seasonic brand/OEM PSU?
Btw, i have one AeroCool product in use:
X-Vision, which is 5.25" external bay fan controller and it is controlling case fans in my old AMD build.

I even left an amazon review of it with a pic,
