Well I got a PSU in my build to order PC, they had no EVGA, no higher watt corsairs, pretty much everything from 850-1000-1200w was pretty sketchy, minus this one gigabyte unit that they used the Aorus picture for... Well I found out today the Gigabyte GP-P850GM and the 750w of this psu are on some reviewers radar as something dangerous. Someone I helped with a 3070 GPU on Cyberpower PC, they ordered an EVGA like myself directed them here showed me this today. I had been skeptical of the PSU from the start. My highest bench I thought I smelled something cooking at 3-4am on my last bench and the capacitors were screaming/squealing though a metal motherboard plate. System is back to stock but it is looking like this PSU is about to go on the list and Gigabyte is about to be put on blast for something that is dangerous or will destroy your system. Glad I trusted my gut and ordered an EVGA PSU today, then my friend hit me up with this. had me going wow. GamersNexus on Twitter: "If you have a Gigabyte GP-P850GM power supply, please email us at team [at] gamersnexus dot net. We are investigating PSU failures. We're particularly interested in units that exhibited smoke / fire smell or failed." / TwitterGamers Nexus - YouTube
I have been watching with interesting also watching the large bad batch of gigabyte 30 series cards hit the market.

I’ll talk to them but not sure if they will swap it out unless it fails.... not going to let it get to that point. Just buying a new PSU and will cut my losses. I also informed them of the issue have not seen if they have taken it off the market yet. They informed the CEO directly at CPPC in the middle of the night.

I would consider the PSU a hazard, and RMA to them for another brand, you did the right thing ordering another one. Anything that causes fire is a hazard period.
T hose who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way. Affiliate Code: 3T15O1S07G

Oh you should see the only 850w they have available right now... Generic take your chance, My Gigabyte of doom, Enermax and a bad in-win. All the good PSU's at that wattage are out of stock.

Gamers Nexus already sourced one of these units via their twitter feed like right after posting. They should have it in-house by the end of the week.
