New build, normal it smell a bit "rubber burn"?

[CHfan4ever]

Yeah new mobo,cpu,case(plastic/metal case)

Normal i smell once a bit of rubber burn?

i think so just wanna confirm

 

[MercenaryForHire]

Plastic/rubbery burn is common with "fresh out of the box" components. Just one is enough to generate it. If all those are freshly minted parts, you're gonna be loaded off the fumes momentarily. 😀

Cool tks you reassure me a bit heehe, Smell burn is gone but when i came back from grocery and smell that smell...i said to myself...OH HO!

 

[spaceholder]

Uhh...id check the components myself.

Burning smells are not common with healthy parts in my expirience.

 

[BW86]

its normal dont worry 😛

 

[Weeeman]

I thought I smelled something. Then I saw a spark, then you check.

 

[CHfan4ever]

if i smell the rubebr burn smell again, then yeah i guess i got no choice but to check again,

But everything so far seem fine

CPU TEMPS:45
SYS TEMPS:38


Videocard GPU temp 53
ambient temp 35

Nothing is overheating imo 🙂

Mr. Noob, i'll say you do more research before passing the the comment that his part is at fault


to the OP: dun worry, if your parts are brand new, installed everything correctly, you will get the plastic smell that resembles burning. When I assembled my PC with all mind condition, the smell didn't go away for a week or so lol

If you'd like to refute it with something more than "you're wrong" then by all means do. Till that happens my post is just as valid as anyone elses. Unless of course you subscribe to the belief that postcount = experience.

Its also common to smell an electical fire. The components actually "burn in." But it is controlled.

Manufacturing leaves chemical residue on the components. As they heat up, the smell is emitted.

I've gotta do something while I'm installing OSes on three different rigs.

[amdguy]

that MH4 for all the thread

yeah for a person who first built a PC, that smell can be a lil scary lol.
But it is all well, the days when you don't install a HS properly and permanently frying a CPU is over

 

[CHfan4ever]

Fans seem installed properly, my cooling in my rig is very good.Every piece of hardware in my system got a power plug, all my fans are attach together(* 2 fans ) to a power supply plug.

Both drives are attach to a ide cable.I THO have my floppy ide cable that pass OVER my hard disk in order to make room.Just to confirm, its not dangerous to leave a IDE cable directly on the hard disk?(over it)I mean those IDE cable are made to resist certain temperature no?Just wanna make sure.

My power supply plug is connect to the mobo.The 4 pin power supply plug is also connected to mob.Memory is well inserted.

My gf 6800gt is well connected/split to hard disk with power plug cable.My cpu fan is spinning.

My pc, with 3 fans( 1 cpu and 2 external, one in front of the case other on the side ) make noise like a plane haha.

So yeah, everything seem right in place.I think its the new pieces( case/mobo/cpu ) that made that little smell.Cause atm i dont smell it.

I hope its not going to blow haha.

Ohhh god im so scared !

 

[CHfan4ever]

My case, but in silver

 

[MercenaryForHire]

Don't worry about it. It's all brand-new, and therefore under warranty if it blows under stress-testing. Fire up the Doom 3 or whatever game you're into and get busy! 😀
