Overloaded power supply unit issue

Hello, I recently purchased a new PC. Before, I frequently connected and disconnected it. Now, when I power it on, I experienced a short circuit. I suspect the issue might be with the SATA power cable linked to the Corsair liquid cooler AIO. I’m worried about other parts getting damaged. What are the chances of further damage to the rest of the components? (The PSU is a Corsair RM750 750W 80 Plus Gold Full Modular.) I’ve never had a short circuit before.

The PC started up correctly and ran for a few seconds. You noticed a faint spark near the cable area. The SATA power plug for the Corsair liquid cooler is intact, and there are no signs of damage on the motherboard, CPU, or PCIe slots.

Are there any problems with the computer? If it functions properly, I'll continue using it, and most power supplies are built to handle brief failures.

You connected the provided power cables to the Corsair RM750 and checked if they were within the cable area.

I don’t own another PSU, and in the past few years I mainly relied on laptops for studying.

I can't verify the PC's condition since I don't have access to a power supply unit.

The rm750 remains functional, and most PSUs typically withstand such problems without any harm.

No, the component fails before the spark occurs. I attempt a bridge connection but it doesn't work.

I handled the warranty, the new power supply is working, and the PC functions properly. It was only a minor concern.
