Weird smell from PC

[kirbydude47]

(Not sure if this is the right category for this) but I got my new PC build and there seems to be a weird smell coming from the back fan, it kinda smells like new shoes or burning plastic/rubber. Is this a bad sign, could there be something burning inside or is it a normal smell for new pc that goes away in a few days. I checked the temps for all parts and nothing is over 50 degrees Celsius when idle

no nothing inside should smell of burning, turn it all off and make sure you didn't damage or destroy anything

Try to isolate where the smell is coming from, if it is just that one fan I would remove it because smells of burning rubber or plastic are never good

Is your PC.....a piece of crap?

I think I isolated the smell, it seems to be coming from the front 2 fans that were included with the case, when I took the cover off the smell was gone from the rear fan, now it smells like fresh plastic or something

Since I opened the cover it now smells like fresh plastic from the front fans
