Hey guys, I've just bought a new PSU and it is smelling...i dont know... odd? Its not like a burning smell, its just like a odd smell. I dont know if its normal and if i should worry.

Some PSUs will give off a smell when first powered on. It should go away with use.

What make/model PSU are you using?

Bought a Corsair CX650M ( Grey one ).

Should be fine after a day or two. Just keep an eye (or nose) or it.

Yes, after some hours the smell was gone.

thank you so much man, I was a bit worried about it.
