Aren't PSU's warranted against blowing up boards and CPUs in case of failure? (if the PSU's are still within warranty of course?). Do any companies in fact offer hardware coverage if their products fail, taking out the other parts with it? PCP&C? Corsair? Antec? OCZ?

I got a new PSU from Enermax, but they didn't refund or arrange RMA for the rest... I had to RMA myself ( and the costs) to get it all back...
Goo dluck with the new build !! weird the CPU died too...

Unlucky :(
So far nothing of mine has ever died like that :p:
But I have my PC plugged into a surge protector board and I think my PSU has a protector thingy as well :D
That sucks dude, happened to be on a build. Seems like the PSU always takes the board with it.
