Guys I dont know what happened 😂 was running a cheap 800W from who knows where, bought used from some guy in forum. Yesterday BANG and the smell... is like fish but bad fish, very bad fish. Opened the case and two capacitors just... exploded. We make a test with multimeter and 12V rail is dead dead.

Pics attached (if this forum allow). The label says "Hetzner" but I never heard of this brand before. Maybe is fake?

Lesson: dont buy PSU from random guy just because is cheap. My RX 6600 maybe is dead too, not sure yet. Will test tonight.

This is a reminder that hardware failure photos are permitted, but please exercise caution when opening power supplies. Capacitors can retain lethal charge even when unplugged.
