Hi Everyone,
I recently purchased the RX570 and am using it with an i5 3470 and 8GB RAM. The power supply is an Antec Atom B550. Please review the details here: https://www.amazon.in/Antec-B550-Bronze-...B08B3Y7N6V.
I bought it for graphic animation and app development. However, when testing the GPU, I played No Man's Sky. It runs very well at first, but after a short time it begins to emit a burning smell.
I’m trying to figure out the exact reason for this issue. In other discussions, people mentioned the PSU as the cause. I suspect the originality of the PSU might be the problem, since I couldn’t locate it on the official Antec website, only on a few shopping platforms.

Probably the PSU. I'm not sure about this Antec, but it makes sense since big companies often offer cheaper alternatives in countries with lower wages. This wouldn't match well with a 570, especially because it's an older, group-regulated, 230V model. Plus, the burning smell suggests it can't be reliable no matter how good it is.
