My pi smells
Hello. I'm new to pi forums. I got my pi before 3 days. When I got it on my hands the pi had a smell like it is burned. However pi works well. And no problems has occurred. Does the pi smells like this for all of you. Or just for me.

Hi,
is the Pi you have made in the UK or elsewhere? Should be marked on the board.

I've been saying "Mucho" to my Spanish friend a lot more lately. It means a lot to him.

Is the SoC getting hot (Too hot to touch) ?
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

No it doesn't get that hot. If my mind won't lie me. The last time I saw the temperature was 59 Celsius. Is that normal.
Re: My pi smells
50-ish while idle sounds reasonable.

Re: My pi smells
if you got your PI within days after it was produced, it might still carry the smell of the soldering oven it went through, nothing to worry about, its the smell of being "brand new".
