![]() It might actually just be better to remove the unit from the computer and test it separately to be sure it does not damage any of your other hardware, before continuing use with it connected to the rest of the system. +3v, +5v and +12v values should all be within. Next, go into the BIOS and check your system voltage values. I'd turn the unit on it's side, power up and make sure the PSU fan still turns and that there are no further smells, unusual noises or other abnormal behaviors coming from the PSU. If however, the smell was simply due to the carpet touching something hot, then it MIGHT still be ok. If it got to the point where you could smell burning electrical, then the unit is unsafe for further use. ![]() You probably overheated the power supply as it was unable to draw air for cooling in through it's bottom vent.
