[12345678]

new out of the box it smells really bad in a way that I never found in other gpus

 

putting it go the system while heating up, the smell seems to be stronger

 

for now seems thst is working but.. the smell sucks, any tips?

What card is it? Make sure to check temperatures using HWiNFO64, MSI Afterburner, or some similar program. Something might be faulty, causing a burn (I know this can happen on certain parts of older 3090 FTW3 models)

 

If need be, take off the backplate and make sure nothing has be been burned. The card might have gotten a false positive during quality testing and gotten pushed through despite being defective.

for now it's running quite hot because I stripped it by its original fans and is attached to the other gpu 66C

 

it's s pny rtx 3070 the ugly dual fan one

 

in fact it does somewhat smell like a burned pcb, I'll have take a look to it

Is it new or is it modded?

What fans did you put on the 3070?

new

actually I putted the fans that do come with the sgc1 case, they do suck

so I also attached a desk fan 

 

I removed the original fans because I didn't had space to put the other card, I will remove that position when the new riser does come

Even if you somehow mounted the fans wrong or whatever it still shouldn’t be burning. It would thermal throttle long before that happened.

for now seems to be stuck between 65 and 66 let's see...

 

to be clear they are placed like this, the top gpu is the rtx 3070

Does the smell go away if you remove the two fans? You might be over spinning the motors on the GPU fans.
