If styrofoam gets into your power supply can it kill it?

You don't need to remind me that I'm an idiot, just answer my question.

I don't think that can conduct electricity

138 is a good number.

Prob not as long as its not a lot. Just don't open it up and kys. You can get shocked on or not if you open it up.

Unsure what power supply to pick?

Check out my HTPC build.

Quote me/others so we can help you

The worst it'll do is melt if your PSU gets hot enough.

Granted that'll release toxic fumes but I'm guessing it's a very small amount so you shouldn't have anything to worry about as it shouldn't be enough to insulate any of the components.

Styrofoam softens at 100-110c,but it melts at 200-240c. Yeah it's not great to have it in there but you have more concerning problems if it's able to melt xD

It'll kill you before it kills the PSU.

No, I took it out and shook it until it came out.
