So i had Evga 500b and that PSU smelt horribly for like half a year.
I got a new one ,same model and now it smells again.
I had new one for 2 days and smell is NOT of burning type.
Will the smell go away?

My best guess is that it is the "new gadget smell" that you feel. Also, any heatwaves you experience might prolong the release of that odor.

PC components are usually stored in well ventilated warehouse where the new gadget smell has time to dissipate. Though, a combination of materials, lack of warehouse ventilation and rushed shipping can lead to that phenomenon where you smell that chemical odor for some time.
