That was such a pain in the backside, I was scared taking it out the old PSU in the first place due to all these warnings of electric shocks but all went well, it was a pain to get out but it all worked out eventually.
But then I had a slight problem, the new PSU was like 0.01 mm too big or something like that for my case and it took ages to fit it in. And tons of trying to force it in I eventually got it so all 4 screw holes were touching the back panel.
Then I had the joy of collecting all the power cords to the different components, in some places it was such a pain because the gap to put your hand in and slot the connector in was like for people with tiny hands, took ages of fiddling.
Took me 3 hours overall, after that my back hurts from bending over the case for so long and I'm exhausted. And my PC seems fine with it, started up fine, all the drivers work, it's not excessively loud or not and it's not caught fire or anything lol.
Just though I'd tell you all the joys I had installing a new PSU. Never again.
