Of course I applied exactly the right amount of thermal grease ;) JK, but there was nothing on the pins. I'll check the PSU, good idea!

I do not imply that you made it wrong, something could fly up from the dust. Not very probable, but still.

Sure, could be. I started up the power supply now, it made the popping sound again when I turned it on, but it started up and the voltages all look fine. So nothing is actually blown, and that sound might just be a cap violently charging up or something? It's still kind of unsettling...
