I have a Hiper 580W Type R power supply that went with a loud pop and a smell of smoke recently. Fortunately now other components were harmed but I'm wondering if I am able to RMA the PSU?

The situation is that this Hiper PSU is actually a replacement of the original PSU that also met an untimely demise. The original was purchased in Jan of 06 but I don't recall when I RMA'd it for the one that died recently.

Similar here. Id try to get an rma out of hiper, and sell on whatever they sent out. However I would not put the replacement back into my computer
