So it almost doesn't smell, only if it smells, like an Xbox one. When I put my nose to the Xbox one fan, it smelled exactly the same as my PSU. Is that bad?
No. Can smell like cable, china and plastic.
Why are you sticking your nose to the XBox?
A burnt smell is never good! Check the circuit board of the power supply in the switched off state for visible defects. Should you not find anything there, I would personally continue to use the power supply, since the protective circuits are now very mature. But if you have a bad feeling about it, exchange it.
Moin, … Yes and no. Yes, … It may threaten to overheat (possibly cooling blocked or defective) and then it is completely broken --- No, … If you display everything early enough, it can cool down again and you can Fix damage.Probably, dust, lint and dirt got into the radiator wheel and hindered his work to cool the Compi. The smell smells like scorched plastic.
Haha
But it smells just like an Xbox, so why should it be bad?
Huh? It's just a normal smell that arises under load
If you do know… Why are you asking us here? What is this about?
Better to have a look! Mine smelled of burnt plastic and then it jerked out! The Stromsata cable of the cd drives was burned out! One plug has a burn hole, its drive traces of smoke, the other drive RIP! Touch the plug to see if they're hot! Never thought that plugs would burn…
