I’m planning to purchase something else the next day anyway; RMA will handle it, which means I’ll be able to focus on my priorities.

Yep, everything might be gone. A few items could be lost, or none at all. It's just chance. Also, avoid using PSU cables if they're modular—unless they match the exact model.

The PSU is the issue. Start with that. The board simply accepts whatever DC voltage the PSU supplies and lacks the means to suppress AC current errors on an UPS. The UPS is identifying a fault on the AC side, not the DC side.

Essentially a DC short on a power supply appears as a massive demand on the AC side, while a short on the AC side looks like a significant issue on the AC side.

It seems like you're pointing out that the PSU might be built with a failure in mind.

It shouldn't fail like it does. I'm referring to the failure if you harmed the power cord or the AC side of the power supply.

Using too many extension cords and connecting multiple devices to one circuit often leads to power surges. When the main circuit becomes overloaded, it can handle a huge surge of electricity, causing a sudden jump in voltage.

I missed updating earlier. The faulty PSU was replaced in two days without issues; I sent a return for the Thermaltake and received an A+ service. They shipped the replacement immediately as instructed.
