Plugged CPU cable from psu to gpu accidentally instead of pcie cable. Burning smell is coming now from gpu. This gpu wasn't 7 'on tha old. Will it be covered under warranty? If not Is it possible to repair ?
 
Solution
Agree. Not covered.

Must have had to force that connector on for it to fit. Which should have been an indication you were doing something wrong.

Note plug shapes and voltage arrangement in image.
