The only real question is whether the PSU took anything else down with it, since this unit is pretty weak to begin with.

Everything smells fine now... but man, when that thing finally blew, my whole room was absolutely stinking... 🕺

Power supply is 230V, 4A, 50Hz... probably. Got some AMD card in there, something from the 7790 series I think. CPU is an Intel Dual Core, maybe an Intel Core i7-6700K or something similar... 2.6 GHz, actually, though I might be remembering it running at 2.8 or 2.9... can't quite recall anymore. Might be the power supply itself... honestly, the whole thing is just choked with dust. Haven't even bothered to vacuum it out in three years...

So, I was running this pretty demanding game today and after about two hours, something just... popped. Then my PC went totally dead. Now I’m sitting here wondering if everything inside just fried or if it's just a few specific components... About a year ago, I did a little overclocking on my Intel Core i7-6700K, and honestly, that's the only thing I've ever messed with in the BIOS. Everything seemed fine until now, though it used to be a bit finicky about booting up sometimes, but I didn't think much of it at the time. When I opened the case, the power supply and the graphics card felt way hotter than the processor, which feels weird since I never even touched the clock speeds on the GPU. So, what does that actually mean? Did the whole system go up in smoke, or is it just the PSU or maybe just the CPU? Any idea how I could actually test this out... help me out here
