Question Question Regarding Gigabyte b700h psu

[Prince24]

So i have been using the gigabyte b700h psu for more than 8 months and its been working fine for me , but i saw Gamers Nexus's video where he concluded that Gigabyte psu specifically the 750gm and 850gm are exploding and in some cases damaging the other components as well. So i am scared even im using a different model . Need suggestions what can i do should i stick with current one or should i get a another one. And im running an ryzen 5 3600 and rtx 3070.

I would. This isn't even as good as the current Gigabyte PSUs; this is an old group-regulated GPK-platform PSU.

What I'm saying is that your PSU is even worse than the recent Gigabyte PSUs. This is one of their old junky PSUs instead of one of their modern junky PSUs.

Ok i will get a new one , but if the psu damage other components for example gpu , so it will get replaced under warranty or it wont cover as it is damaged by psu ?

When did you buy it and did you buy it new?

If it's within warranty, they'll replace your PSU, but proving to a company that other parts died because of their PSU is a very difficult battle.
