snoopx25x Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hi i recently changed my pc case (1 week ago) to a corsair graphite 780t and i'm getting a weird smell coming from it. It's a plasticy something smell not a burned one at any case. All the temperatures are at normal rates and all the cables and capacitors on all the pc parts (hdd,cpu,psu,rams,gpu) are checked 5 times. Is it posible the case as a case to be smelling like this? or lets say the case fans? I've only changed the case nothing more and nothing is overclocked. Some parts of my system are: cpu i5-2500k gpu gigabyte GTX 970 G1 psu corsair CX750M motherboard gigabyte ga-z68p-ds3 ram Corsair DDR3 8GB (2x4)Kit 1600MHz Vengeance C8 Some helps is appreciated, thanks.

snapper69 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Does it only smell when the computer is switched on? Does it smell stronger in one part of the case than others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it only smells when the PC is on. I've done the "smell test" in the PC but i can't figure out from where it comes from. When i lower the fan speed via the fan controler the smell is not so strong but maybe this is because the back fan is exausting less air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokemon Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Maybe its some plastic smell from the inside(couse its new) and when the pc is on,the exthaust fills the room with the smell and it feels stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper69 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Lots of things absorb smells during the manufacturing process, as long as it's not a "hot" smell, I'd be tempted to leave it for a few days and see if it improves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
