Hello,
I recently purchased the aforementioned PSU from someone used. put it in my system. it powers the mobo and cpu (I could post and go into BIOS) but its sata connector burned two of drives. first, I used mechanical 2.5'' drive which was old so I thought it must have died. The second adata ssd drive was brand new, used for the first time. I put in this drive tuned the system on and immediately saw smoke coming out of where its sata/power connectors were.
The PSU came with its cables (not complete set)
any thoughts what could be wrong with the PSU? and most importantly how do I get it checked/fixed?

My location; RWP/ISB

Thank you for replaying, @drsargex

I got total of 7 cables. 1x24pin, 1xCpu, 3xSata, 1xMolex, 1xPCIe ( Complete set should be 1x24pin, 1xCpu, 3xSata, 1xMolex, 2xPCIe, 1xFloppy).
They all looked liked original and at a glance, I had no reason to suspect otherwise and watching the Reviews/Unboxing videos of this PSU on YT and tom's hardware, they looked original.
Here's the cable that I used. It had 4 sata connectors on so I thought this should suffice for my needs so lets use it.
and now taking the picsof these cable I have noticed, the one I used has making on it "type4" the other two don't, neither does the Molex cable. CPU cable has a "CPU" marking and PCIe cable also has "PCIe" which is very prominent and bold compared to the Sata one that I used which now makes me think this cable might not belong to the bunch despite looking similar. Also, the one I used is bit more stiff to bend. the others are bit more softer. there are also some other differences that are mentioned in the pics link below.

The problem was the cable which I did use. I tried my luck with the other two cables, and now I am typing this comment from my new built.
Damn, that cable cost me 10K and two drives.

Do you think the seller is responsible for this? since he didn't tell me about the cable and to me it looked like same as the rest of the bunch. That's why it never occurred to me before making this post here to check for cables or that the one cable I am using is actually doesn't belong to this PSU.

    No. But they were as good as new. My modded Ps2 lasted nearly 6 years, and I have still my modded PS3 with 20+ games.

    Back in the day we could buy brand new consoles which could run pirated games out of the box. My Ps1, Ps2 and Xbox 360 did. So they weren't really sealed in box were they?

    Nah man. RDR2 is in a league of it's own. That game is special. Brilliant storyline & characters. Ghost of Tsushima is also a good game, but it's story isn't all that great IMO. It's gameplay, sidequest & combat are really good though.

    Finally finished Ghost of Tsushima today (with DLC). It's a pretty good game. It plays like an older Assassin's Creed game but with it's own setting & visuals. The combat is fun. Storyline is decent. Sidequests are interesting. Visuals are pleasant. Overall an enjoyable game. Good to know they're making a sequel.

    The graphics seem to me more crisper and detailed of this edition as compared to the original. But I could be wrong.
