If my PSU dies cuz of age, will other components die as well?

As someone who has lost 2 motherboards because of PSU deaths, I would suggest you change it asap and be thankful you got out scot free.

Nope.  That's not how it works.

I wouldn't call it a very very bad unit when it has literally survived more than 7 years,

" I have smoked for 7 years, no lung problem yet"

" I have not changed my car's oil in 2 years, still going strong"

" I have not eaten in 48 hours, still going strong"

This makes 0 sense with what i'm talking about. We are talking about computers and not the outside life lad. Whatever you said, they are true and they can happen but still, 0 sense

Not an opinion.  A statistical fact.  I know a large percentage of Solytech stuff fails.  They're now out of business (for the most part).  If you're using a product well past it's DMTBF and it still functions "normally", that's called "luck"
