I guess I should clarify what I meant, since you're the second person to point this out to me (no fault to you, I wasn't clear).
I'll always pay for high quality in a PSU, even for non-critical systems. My main PC, home server, and shit box emulator machine on integrated graphics app run the same PSU, only the main PC is a higher wattage.
An old friend bought an RGB PSU in like 2018 despite my best advice. I wonder how it's holding up.. bought the first of my three PSUs two years prior to that and still pushing electrons like new
That's great but you are not decreasing the chance of the PSU exploding by spending more on it.
You're right, the PSU doesn't care how much money I spent on it.
But a shitty $50 no name PSU is probably gonna blow up before the $150 unit from a solid company with a well established history of quality parts
I'm not saying more expensive PSUs are better, I'm saying that better PSUs tend to be more expensive. Obviously that exploding PSU from a few years ago isn't better than a cheaper one simply because it cost more.
Never thought "I buy good stuff i have confidence won't blow up" would be such a controversial take
