Except they upgraded the motherboard on the replacement build (the one that's just popped) to an H670 Steel Legend. And the CPU is an i7 13700KF not i7 13700F (but it wasn't overclocked).
The GPU was upgraded (by me) from a Palit Dual RTX 4070 Super to an MSI GeForce RTX™ 4070 Ti SUPER 16G VENTUS 2X OC (which was running in preconfigured "Extreme Performance" mode as configured by MSI Centre)
The RAM was Corsair Vengeance CL16 2x 16GB XMP DDR4 3200MT/s XMP (operating in dual channel slots 2 and 4 using XMP Profile 1).
OCCT stability tests returned no issues a matter of days ago. Gaming performance was fine, temps were reasonable (GPU never went above 74-75 degrees even when maxing out gaming at 4K with Quality DLSS) and CPU was even cooler thanks to the Peerless Assassin (no idea what VRM temps were though but Cinebench R23 only earlier today returned 2082 single core and 26,000 and something...can't remember the exact figure...multi core score).
pop sound, can be electrolytic cap, but that should not happen on a new psu
next would be fuse popping in the psu, but if the leds stayed on, then its not those
or it could be mosfet overheating and cracking
in the psu, mobo, or gpu
most of those should be covered by heatsinks, look for burns around heatsinks or mosfets
now its having a new issue
k (unlocked) cpu has higher base and turbo clocks than non k and overclockable
other than that it has all the same features of the non k
parts failing is not completely the builders fault
picking bad parts is their fault
they did replace the mobo and gpu last time he had problems
that actually a sign of a good builder, if they are willing to support their customer after selling and shipping the pc
What country are you in?
Obviously not going to risk turning it back on so just waiting for the pc manufacturer to respond at this point. But I will say this...the computer would not turn back on (when I pressed the power button) yesterday. The motherboard RGB lights however, which remain on by design even when the machine is turned off but still connected to power, remained on. Surely if the PSU blew there would be no power at all (as if it is was completely unplugged)? Obviously I unplugged it the moment I smelled the burning smell at which point the RGB lights did go off obviously.
Test the PSU on another PC maybe. Or just toss in the trash and buy one out of pocket. You should have a backup PSU anyways just in-case. That won't be a guarantee everything else in the system is 100% "OK" though.
mobo and gpu are hopefully fine
