I recently purchased a power supply unit (PSU) and later found out it doesn't include Overcurrent Protection (OCP). However, the product description mentions that it has Over Power Protection (OPP), Over Voltage Protection (OVP), Under Voltage Protection (UVP), and Short Circuit Protection (SCP). How concerning is the absence of OCP? Should I be worried?

Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Many PSUs out there don't have OCP and still function perfectly fine. It's more of an added safety feature rather than a necessity. Your GPU isn't likely to explode or anything crazy like that!
Just wanted to know if I really should feel safe without it though. It's a little unsettling!
