Smell detected from a 4070 Ti?
Hey, you're noticing a burnt plastic odor from your 4070 Ti. It sounds like the new card might be overheating slightly, even though you haven’t seen any crashes. Check the temperature readings and see if they stay within normal ranges. Also, ensure the card is properly seated and there’s no dust buildup.
It's strange you'd place your nose near the back of your GPU, but whatever sparks your interest! Try to overlook the odor of charred plastic—it might just mean it's fresh, not damaged. If the smell has been stronger for more than five days, it likely indicates a serious issue and you should consider returning it. If my assessment is incorrect, it could eventually ignite, so don't hesitate to send it back. Play with your GPU as intended!
