I think you smelled your Mac Pro a bit too much there, Zware Unit.  |
Silly unhelpful remarks aside, there is a problem with the 8 core mac pros. I am sitting here typing this on one with the odor problem.
I do have multiple Mac Pros so I conducted a little experiment to see if I could get to the bottom of this. I swapped the PSU from a 4 core mac pro which does not have the smell and installed it into the smelly 8 core. Guess what? The smell is NOT coming from the PSU. My guess is it may be the fans or perhaps something on the motherboard. My investigation continues...
Smell aside, this 8 core mac pro is VERY stable.
