New computer smell or burning?

[Quasartastic]

Okay, so here's whats going on, I got my new computer all set up and everything, I plug everything in and turn it on, everything seems to be running fine but then I noticed an odd smell, couldn't really tell if it was a chemically or burning plastic smell but i panicked and turned it off, didn't get to see if it posted or not... everything I am reading online is saying its just the new chemical smell but just curious what everyone here thinks?

Might be able to tell you if it posts or not tomorrow but to worried to start it up without being on the phone with MSI (motherboard manufacturer).

 

MSI z97 krait edition MB

Intel I5 4590 processor

Kingston Hyper fury 16(2x8) memory

asus ROG strix 1070 GPU

Corsair RM750X

other non factor parts...

I do smell it from my computer, and it is the pc case. So you don't have to worry about it too much, but you might want to open a side panel and run the system, if you want to make it sure.

it could be "new computer smell" but check for things like cables stuck in a fan. Another one is on the various components, sometimes a protective plastic film will be applied to certain areas, usually those that contain logos or other designs to be protected in shipping or during installation. I know my ASUS motherboard had some on the PCH heatsink, an area that can get quite hot. Also my graphics card had the same film on various parts as well.

 

Good luck
