I've been noticing a burning smell coming from my setup over the last 12 hours, but I'm having trouble figuring out where it's coming from. Every 10 minutes or so, I get a whiff, but everything looks and smells fine upon checking. The only new addition to my setup is a new monitor, and I recently overclocked my old one by just 2 Hz. I also added a small light-up tree for my desk, but both of these items seem to be functioning normally. Any suggestions on how I can pinpoint this burning smell?

First off, check your power supply. It's one of the most common culprits when it comes to these smells. Also, I'm kinda curious—why did you decide to overclock your monitor by just 2 Hz? That seems a bit odd!
It felt really sluggish compared to my new 165 Hz display, so I thought it might help.
