Metal bits from power supply

Last response: in Components

Hi everyone,

I just unboxed my new Corsair AX850 power supply, and I noticed that there were one or two very tiny pieces of what looked like steel wool that fell out of the cloth bag that the power supply was in. I shook out the power supply and other than a few flakes of black paint/plastic, nothing else came out.

Maybe these "steel wool" bits must have been from the manufacturing process? Do you think I am safe to use this power supply? I have already built my system and I don't want to unplug everything.

Thanks!

If the power supply turns on am I good to go?

Should I be worried about little metal bits from the power supply shorting out my motherboard or other components of my PC?
