[SOLVED] Bought a new gpu and psu seems to smell like plastic

[MicrowaveG]

a few hours ago, i bought a gtx 1650 and put it in my pc , ive had no problems other than me smelling a weird plastic smell when i smell the psu (note it doesnt seem to be a burning smell). the psu now has the same smell that the gpu packaging has, is it just the gpu smell being taken around by the air circulation or is something else going on? (ive had the gpu installed for about 2 hours)

Sounds like the GPU smell circulating inside, but still what is your PSU make/model/variant and the rest of the system specs?

i have a i3 8100 3.6ghz and the psu is ~350w (324w on 12v rails) , not a good psu but it handled a gpu with the same tdp as the gtx 1650 , that being 75w, altrought ive seen the gtx 1650 use 90w as its the oc version so i did underclock it a bit to only use around 76w

Those smells should dissipate after a few days. Check to make sure you removed any peelable surface protectors.

are you sure you've removed all the plastic from the 1650? The 1650 I purchased months ago had plastic (like cellophane wrap) covering some parts of the gpu after I took it out of the box, had to remove those manually.
