4th of July inside the case.
Excluding jokes, this device might harm your system and even start a fire in your home. A more detailed explanation would be better if we understood the specific issues with this power supply unit and its behavior.

What are your specifications?
This Corsair PSU isn't suitable for dedicated GPUs or overclocking—it poses a risk to your system. Opt for a Corsair CX550 if you plan to overclock. It's a reliable, budget-friendly option.

It could function well without any overclocking for a while, but I wouldn't risk it. Swap out the power supply.
