oh yah, it can

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Yes. It can (and will) kill components if the PSU itself dies.

In general Cooler Master and other decent brands won't outright kill other components, but it's possible.

 

Here's a list ranking PSU Quality:

450 isn't much OC headroom anyway. I doubt you'll hurt anything, but it'll probably be unstable

The Cooler Master GM are decent DC-DC regulated PSU made by CWT. Unless you are strike with bad luck, you shouldn't need to worry about it damaging your components.
