After using my computer for a day and turning it off I walked out of my room, walked back in and noticed a faint "metallic" smell. I opened my computer and smelled around inside of it to locate where it was coming from and oddly enough it seems to be strongest in my empty drive bay
Picture of the area I'm talking about
And here's a different view (forgive my awful wiring job) the circled area is where the smell is noticeable but not as strong as the empty drive bay.
After letting it sit for a entire night completely off the smell remains. When I turn the computer on the smell gets sucked away, presumably by the fans but when I turn it off and let it sit the smell comes back.
The only things in that immediate area are two case fans, 2 SSD's, 1 hard drive and some case wires . Hidden under the cooler is my RAM. Nothing in particular seems to be giving off the smell, oddly enough. Not the power supply, not the video card, not the two case fans up front, I don't smell anything from the CPU fan either.
It's not super strong, and metallic might not be the right description but it definitely has a "electronics" smell to it if that makes sense. I've noticed this smell about ~4 or 5 months ago but I only seem to smell it near the top drive bay area and very, veery rarely I can smell it in my room from time to time very faintly. But its definetly noticeable in the drive bay area
No wires look burnt, everything is working perfectly fine, temperatures are all normal and I clean the dust out of my computer with some compressed air once a month. Am I just being worried over nothing?
