When i sniffed my brand new PSU it had that new hardware smell. But when i plugged it in that smell became stronger close to an electrical cable smell. 2h and on going I'm running Heaven's Bench on maxed out settings and no smoke, issues, slow downs in speed or weird noises.

Is this i something i should be worried or is it just new hardware smell ?
My build:
GPU - Gigabyte Windforce OC GTX 1070 -@2000 Mhz Core and 4200 memory
CPU - i5 6600 (Non K)
MOBO - Asrock H170 Pro4S
16GB Kingston Hyper X @2133Mhz
HDD- WD BLUE 7200rpm
3 Case fans (1200RPM) and Razer RGB mouse and Keyboard.

Kept Heaven running for 4h and no issues. Smell is already gone. I was worried because only the PSU was new, but it turned out that it was just smell of new hardware and cables. :) F.Y.I got better clocks on my GPU with this PSU. (I had a crappy FSP Hyper M 500w before that)
 


Nice. A good PSU is always a good idea.
