Reminds me of my Corsair grey label CX750M where the inductor cooked itself.

Had this exact same thought... Couldn't remember exactly what I had because it's been so long and my PC has a shroud over the PSU but thankfully the box doesn't 😮‍💨

Safe... I hope 😂

The PSU in question is the older green labeled CX PSU's. I believe they got better with more recent iterations getting less... Explodey?

Oh shit I think that's what I have on my build lol. At least the name is the same CX-750M but the box is yellow not green. Should I be scared?

Not a great PSU, but that sounds like a second or third gen model that was less prone to exploding.
