So I noticed that when the computer is under heavy use it is giving a smell, I can't really describe it but I know it isn't a burning smell. Only notice it if I smell it like a few inches away from the top port on Computer. Is this normal???

Any Help is Much appreciated.

If the computer is new, the smell could be various cleaning agents and other stuff baking off of components.

If it is older, it could be clumps of dust slowly roasting on hot components and should go away if you blow the dust off.

You may want to use temperature monitoring software just to check if your CPU/GPU temperatures are within reasonable range, just in case.
