Hey there! I noticed your setup changed and saw some signs of trouble. After upgrading to the ROG THOR P2 1000W PSU and the Gigabyte RTX 4090 OC, I saw your fans spiking up really fast while playing Cyberpunk at full intensity. I caught a faint burning plastic odor too. Right after stopping the game, the heat and smell disappeared quickly. I’m a bit concerned now—especially since you haven’t checked CPU or GPU temps during load. I’ll test MSI Afterburner later and let you know what I find. I’ll follow up with an update soon.

Remove the power cable and check for any signs of burning.

If no damage is visible, it might simply be the fans settling into the new setup. This could seem simple but is actually feasible. Verify that your fan curve matches the present temperatures.
