I noticed my bench PSU (a dirt cheap HX1200 I bought a few years back used) has a rather low 3.3V rail voltage, around 3.15V according to the P6T7 WS it's SuperIO controller.

Should I consider replacing my PSU at this point?

3.15 V is still within spec (+-5%). It's also worth keeping in mind that onboard sensors are probably not super accurate, so definitely double-check with a multimeter before drawing any conclusions.

I was thinking of buying a even more powerful PSU either way, 1200W is nothing for a XOC bench PSU tbh

Well speak of the ****ing devil, someone listed a AX1600i for €50 locally, lol

Jumped on it the second I saw the advert. Hope it's legit.

I'm almost certain I got scammed out of €50. Sigh.

Gave him until tomorrow afternoon 4 pm to send me a tracking code or i'm reporting his ass to Marktplaats for scamming. Not that does anything, but still.
