I’ve had a gtx 660 pop when it was drawing 300+W at nowhere near safe voltages.
And a cheap p55 asrock mobo with a godlike clock gen but only 4 shitty vrm phases, everything was fine until I switched to water cooling without realising the tower fan was also cooling down the vrm heatsink.
They are hard to kill

Yeah but this one time my buddy’s cousin’s friend fried his motherboard because he didn’t use one of those bracelets!
Most components will still run for atleast 30s while half of it is on fire.
