while that psu is very bad, it SHOULD not kill a non OEM board.

 

Obviously it will kill OEM boards that are not combatible

if your components need more power than the PSU can provide, it will cause the components or the motherboard to fail

no it will not. the psu will just shutdown.

 

if the psu is very crappy like EVGA W1, and you suddenly run a workload that uses 1000w of power in 1ms, then the psu ahs potential to fail, but not likely.

 

there are protections for a reason

the 200 w dell psu held my gtx 1650 oc and every other component  

dont think so. the 1650 uses 75w. dont know what exact cpu you have but probably uses 65w. that is 130w, the nram and drives and chipset probably add 20w. so you are at 150w at 12V, so the old psu should have worked just fine
