Re: Gigabyte exploding power supply
And aside from being a meme, there is a high-rate of catastrophic failure of certain models of Gigabyte PSUs. If you have one of these in you're system you should probably replace it ASAP, and I'd personally avoid Gigabyte PSUs in general after this fiasco (not that I used them anyhow):

The new version with all the changes made.
In theory, one can get a "bad" psu for less money or even for free and apply the changes in this video and make it safe, is this true?
