Hello, I installed a cool master hyper evo cooler onto my processor yesterday.
I have followed all the steps properly and applied alot of thermal paste
The temperature is great it is at 30/31C
I am very happy with the noise and the temperature however there is one thing bothering me.

The smell -.-
I know that new components tend to smell for a few days, for example when i got a new PSU it smelled like this for 3 days
Is it normal that the cooler smells like it would be burning for a couple of days?

Yes, unplug it. If the fan isn't spinning/the plug is burnt then it shorted out somewhere and the fan is likely toast (but the system still tried to apply power to it - creating heat and possible your smell). Remove it, then I'd get a new fan to install. If that one does the same thing then your connection is shorting out.

But nothing is hot, even I am not burning at 30 degrees celsius so how come a component that previously held up to 80 C can start burning ?
I really doubt it will damage my equipment but i just want to know is it dangerous to my computer and how should i check which part is it coming from

I think i have found the source of the problem, is it possible that the smell comes from the back fan? it has stoped spining??

When i installed the cpu cooler and was repluggin everything else i noticed that the small 3 pin plug was browny like kinda burnt but i still pluged it in.

Should I unplug it asap?
