Seasonic PSU - Burning?

Enduro

Today, I just received my PSU to complete my system build. After putting it in and turning on my PC, I left it on for 5 minutes, on the BIOS screen. My system is pretty light (6600K, 1060, Z170 Extreme4, ... idle is under 100 watts), and all of my parts are brand new. When I came back to my PC, I noticed a burning smell - kind of like very strong plastic or rubber on fire, even though there wasn't any fire (just a burning smell). I have isolated that the smell originated from the Seasonic G-550 (550 watt) unit powering my system, although everything seems to work perfectly. The fan of the PSU just spreads the smells and makes everything worse, and since, it has been turned off in order to avoid the possibility of killing my motherboard, processor, or graphics card. I am guessing that my unit is a DOA; after all, I paid the extra to get the Seasonic one...

 

What do you guys recommend I do? As of now, I have sent Seasonic an RMA application, awaiting for a response.

 

Thanks in advance
