Might I interest you in a dumb terminal?
Welcome to the world of tomorrow yesterday!

So this weekend I went looking for DDR 4 and even those were 2-3X times the cost from two years ago. Honestly fuck AI.

90 dollars worth of a plastic pile of green poo.
You know, for that reassuring sense of cultish belonging to a corporation.

A good power supply will have good OVP and OCP protections to help keep the various connections from frying the power supply and hopefully save the equipment unlike a cheap one but at the end of the day cheap or expensive, power supplies are not pushing current over to the equipment, just responding to the pull from the equipment.
Unless this cheap power supply was shorted and just flowing current over to the GPU, I doubt the power supply was a major factor in this connector failing considering all of the information we know at this point.
It’s hilariously sad how bad the 12vhp standard, the implementation is.
Well damn, there goes some good intentions.
This is why gamers will continue to be screwed by the industry.
