sounds like a new PSU (power supply unit) is called for and new in-take/out-take fans, its worth checking your power requirements before you get a new psu if needed :)

If your looking for a new cooler you can get serious ones but will cost allot more,or you can get one the same as stock,and you don't even have to strugle with removing mobo or adding screws and so on(wich if you get a new cpu cooler that is a litle fancy your gonna have to remove the mobo and check the manual allot).
wow..that works fine..in my system im talking about the fan that was located at the back near the *power plug.. that is where i smell the burning smell.
Ow.thanks for that correction.sorry..for confusions..and the wrong terms

Yeah "that" fan is as they said the power supply,and it doesn't matter if it's new,it can still have problems,if you could play game on it for a long while then your pc gets enough power,however,if not- get a bigger psu(i had to learn that the hard way) the burning smell i am not shore,mabee one of the wires are faulty or the fan just gave in. Atleast its not your cpu as you first said.
the * burning smell* will probably be the transformer in the psu/dust accumulation/burnt out motor on fan etc
a burnt cpu smells like a chemical smell as i recall on a old pentium 4 i had once, i would change the psu and new fans, if the psu is being over worked up the wattage by at least 100 watts when you buy one.
