Recently I decided to clean up the cables in my case, when I had finished, I turned it on to make sure it still worked and I noticed a strange smell coming from the back of my pc immediately. Since I had no idea what it was and I was scared it was something serious, I turned my pc off and unplugged it and opened my pc to check.
I could not see anything out of the ordinary but I noticed the smell was coming from the back of my case. My pc has a really weird layout and the motherboard is upside down and the psu is at the front of the case. My storage is at the front of the case. The area that the smell is coming from contains my gpu, mobo, and three case fans. I did turn it on again after leaving it for a while and the smell returned. I'm too scared to use my pc in case its something serious and its happening when my pc is on and before its even under any load so what could it be and how could I fix it?
