Nikovillarino Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Hi! How's everybody? I have a question and sorry for my bad English. I bought a new PSU in my country (RM850X) sealed and when I installed it on my pc, it emits like a plastic smell... This is normal? I installed it about two hours ago! If it's normal, how long should the smell last? Greetings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees Corsair Perd Posted August 24, 2021 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 24, 2021 New PSUs will often emit a smell which can be due to flux, adhesives or other materials used in manufacturing. This will typically go away with time and use, however there is no exact time frame. As long as the PSU does not smell like it's burning, there should be nothing to worry about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
