PSU: Why does my CORSAIR PSU smell "bad"?
It`s normal for new Transformers to release some harmless odors from the varnish impregnation used in the coils for a week or two after energization. Older Transformers can also release some odor if loaded to a higher level than they have experienced previously in their history.
If you have an questions or concerns about the smell coming from your CORSAIR PSU, create a ticket with our customer support team.
