Hi guys,

From 2 days am able to smell very strong burning smell from my PC. Everything was fine and i didn't upgraded anything new in my rig. I can smell it coming from cooler master seidon 120 V2. I had reapplied CPU coolant and I had cleaned fan radiator etc etc. Still that didn't fixed it. And that smell is increasing very strongly hr by hr. I had checked CPU temp and my rig clocks at 4Ghz with 30temp. Gaming time it goes to 35-40max. And I guess cooler is working fine and I had replaced 2 fans that I was using along with cooler radiator. Still am able to smell the same. I had tried out all ways I knew but no luck. I can see that smell is coming from liquid cooler radiator. even I touched cooler master pump that sits on top of cpu. it's very cool. and I can hear liquid flow as well in pipes and when I touched the same can feel it. Needs some advice. Thanks in advance.

Below is my RIG:

Amd Fx 6300 @ 4GHZ
Hyperx 16GB ddr3
MSI 960-4gb GPU
600watts cross air smps
MSI 970 Gaming Mobo
Cooler master seidon 120 V2 liquid cooler

Be nice to know what kind of burning smell it is... electrical? plastic?
Be also very nice to know your computer components; you should list them.
In the meantime, you should try a program like HWiNFO, and see what temperatures and RPM's you'r getting
