    Hmm, that's a brilliant idea for a new PC accessory. It could monitor for smoke/odor and provide an on screen notification/report: normal, burnt capacitor, etc .

    Seriously, some of us have inquiring minds and want to learn through questions - nothing wrong with that.
    I mean DAMN... i'm pretty sure i'd be able to sense freakin SMOKE and even see it coming it out of the PC which is NOT happening... this is barely a FAINT smell... and the weirdest part is when gaming and FULL LOADS i can't even sense it anymore.

    Don't worry Burning electronics, even if you cant see the smoke You're going to smell it and it will taste in your mouth if there's a lot...

    So you're saying if something is being damaged i'd be able to sense more than 3 feet away from the PC case ?



    Well, you said 2cm the 1st time.

    Just keep an eye on it. That's pretty much all any of us can do.

    In that case, keep a large fire extinguisher near your PC until the smell stops

    Please use "C" class only extinguisher in that case.

    I usually keep one right under my desk and one under my pillow at night for clouse encounters.

    Canned air must smell pretty good since there's medical cautions about "huffing" it. I always have 4 or more cans on hand for the labeled purpose but no young people [abusers?] around.
