PSU burning smell.

XGAMERSREVIEW · Nov 19, 2016

So i was on my computer just web surfing. Next thing i know my computer starts making this burning smell so i shut it off and take it apart. It all looks good inside i think the smell was coming from the burning plastic they put it in because there were scorch marks on it. I ran it after just to see if it worked and it worked fine. None of the capacitors look erupted. Its just the white thin piece of plastic they have in it that has scorch marks. They're faint because once i smelt that i shut of my PC off right away. Just dont know really what to do. I could buy a new PSU on the safe side, but to my understanding its just the plastic in the PSU that was heating up and creating the fumes.

PC specs:
i7-4970k
Water cooler for CPU
GTX 970
Z97-a Asus Mobo
16Gb Ram
1 SSD
1 HDD
CS750m Corsair PSU

Sir Psu Problems And Crashes Can Have Bad Influence On Other Things Specially Cpu/Gpu/Mobo
So I recommend U If U Are Sure Its Because Of Ur Psu
And IF U Have No problem About Budget Buy A Better Psu For Taking No Heavy Risks
Brands Like EVGA
GREEN
APEVIA
Are A good Brands Which Gives U The Wattage Which Is Written On Em
Not Sure ABout Other Brands
Best regards Khd

Yea i know everybody will say buy a new PSU, but the thing is i believe it was just the dam plastic they put in it. It has scorch marks on it. The plastic was burning. The entire rest of the PSU was fine. I looked it over multiple times. And i do know that it has bad influences
