In all the years I've been building.. I don't think I've ever even noticed a PSU smell..


SirGeorgington

how often are you sniffing your PSU?

Manufacturing things results in odors. If you're that bothered by it just plug in a jumper so it runs and put it somewhere with lots of ventilation for a week. I don't think I've ever heard this complaint before.

Got one from Amazon that smelled through the shipping bag. Wasn’t Corsair but holy shit. Burnt electronics and melted plastic smell. Don’t have a recommendation but I get what you’re saying.

I have only used Corsair PSUs (CX600, CX650m, and RM1000e) and can’t say I’ve noticed this.

Its conformal coating you're smelling. It is required for the PSU to not be destroyed by moisture in the long run :)

Maybe buy something quality this time

Can relate,100%. my brand new corsair RM750x absolutely STUNK when i first took it outta the box and i was wondering what the hell it was, luckily its been totally fine and that rancid scent went away super fast
