Hi,
My PSU went up in smoke. None of the connections look bad. Am I safe to plug a different PSU in, is there a chance the components caused an issue?

thanks,
Ed

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

You might want to pass on images to show the extent of the damage that you speak of. You might want to inspect each part inch by inch for anything that's burnt or blown off the board.
