My bedroom smells weird after i placed my PC in it

[tonklar22]

My bedroom is really small: 3m x 5m. Can placing my pc here damage my health because all the chemicle from the component. My case is and maximum airflow case so it exposes the components. Also, after i moved my pc to my bedroom, the room starts to smell weirder than normal

A new plastic case may have a new plastic smell.

Other than that, the computer doesn't release anything toxic under normal conditions.

What kind of smell does it smell like?

Open a window and take your sweaty socks off the radiator.

Unless something like a capacitor leaks, then no toxins should be in the air.

I wouldn't put a new PC (primarily the case) in any area I want to spend time in for a least a week because I can smell it. I took all the panels off my case and left it to ventilate for that long before the build, but this was aided by the fact that half my components hadn't arrived anyway lol

if you have carpet the heat if the power supply on the bottom of the case may be heating up the carpet or clogging the fans on the power supply so that the unit is running hot. if that the case put the case on flat piece of wood to keep an air space from the bottom of the case and power supply.

My Fractal Design Define XL R2 case is mostly steel, so no smell for me, although I did almost need a crane to put it in place.

I had my Corsair PSU die on me a few weeks ago, and I installed a new one fan facing down in my relatively new and ridiculously heavy Fractal R6 case, had it on my desk, and I noticed a plastic smell in the room and stuck my nose up against the exhaust fan at the back of the case and it stank badly (for me). It settled down after a few days. I guess it depends on how sensitive your sense of smell is.

Woah this is has been so long since I posted here. Any way here's the update: I, just like you said, smelled my computer right after I posted this thread and found the smell to be coming from the psu as well and it kinda dissapates out. There's no smell now. I guess it must have been chemicle from the factory
