Last night my pc decided to burn something. Heard light cracking or clicking noises before the smell became prominent.
The smell quickly overpowered the room and I panicked. I quickly ramped up the fans to full in asus ai fan utility in windows. Clocked down to stock from a 4.3 ghz overclock on a 3770k. Temps were fine in different program's. Low 30's. Wasn't doing anything intensive. Just normal browsing and multitasking.
At first I thought the cracking or clicking was a fan but no sign of wires in the way. Doesn't explain the burnt smell. It still smells somewhat despite 12 hprs having passed by. The inside of the pc has the smell but can't pinpoint anything.
PSU is 5 years old.
Gfx card 1 month not stressed on the day.
Mobo 1 week and half. Same for cpu
