What is the worst thing that can happen if a PSU overheats ?

I'm using an Antec CP850 PSU in a P183 case. I've recently changed the 9 years old original fan to a Scythe Grand Flex PWM. I was hoping to get near silence but it's audiable even from 5 meters away in a dead silent room.
My recently upgraded System is very low powered.
Ryzen 5 2400G ( 65 TDP )
No VGA
No optical drive
Only SSDs
I tought to replace the fan on the PSU again but this time to a Quiet low RPM case fan and let it run constantly on 5V.
Honestly I don't really care if the PSU dies but I'm wondering if it could damage any other components or even cathing fire.
What are your thoughts ?
