My cpu has a water cooling system with a 120X2 fan radiator. MY cpu is a 9370 amd

the temp at idle is around 20c, mostly less. Once I run bf4 for about 20 mins on ultra, the radiator gives up a "burny" smell..... When i exit the game and quickly check the cpu temp it never goes over 40c. Is that normal? I mean its just getting rid of the heat rite? its gotta go somewhere. I have my setup next to a window... so it goes outside... otherwise i would die. PS just got this computer 2 weeks ago....I don't think it has anything to do with it tho..

while idle the smell is still there but no where as near as when under full load

Is this normal???? I mean its doing its job rite? It just comes from the fans/ radiator mounted outside the pc. inside there is no smell

my gpu is at around 80 degrees, Im using only 85 percent of power target, im not overclocking. GTX780

sorry for spelling.. im on a phone


i have a crosair 750 psu
 
Solution
It's probably fine, if it's still there in a week or two I'd start worrying, but if it's running okay, I wouldn't worry about it.

CX, the psu fan is working fine. The smell doesnt come from there, it comes from the radiator. I thought it was normal since u know... its cooling of the cpu and just releasing of the heat
