HX750 pop...

Just installed a new HX750 in my machine. After install it hung on the Windows load screen, then shut off. Went to turn it back on and nothing happened. Unplugged the power cable, plugged it back in, hit the power button and POP!

No smoke or anything from anywhere, but the strange part is, it works just fine now. I did change out the old power cable with the one that came with the HX750 (the cable that plugs into the wall.)

So my question is: Do I have anything to worry about? Nothing looks damaged and it has been running smooth for the past 30 minutes since the pop. Would a faulty power cable cause something like this?

Thanks!
 
That's the plan for now. I'm building a new system tomorrow and I'm putting the HX750 in it. It's been running just fine all afternoon.
 
Probably a bad capacitor that popped. It'll (most likely) work fine without it but you still might want to ask Corsair about it and see about cross-shipping a replacement. I'd be worried the PSU isn't providing as clean a power source as it should be after something like that happened.
