Over clocking help

im kind of worried now ive noticed a constan orange led under just under my GFX card not a clue what is and I had a pch or what ever it is temp warning from easy tune, also their is a smell of warm plastic (almost like burning) ive scanned the mobo made sure their are no wires touching and hot places only wire I have touching any metal is my fan wire coming down the side of my rad and even when heavy over clocked my rad is barley even warm to the touch. ok led is bios indicator one problem solved now I need the smell and wonder why Easy tune 6 is saying 41 degrees is high for the pch when other say its fine lol

ok mate I will once I get this smell sorted out I think it may be PSU as its not always there only when its been on for a while I don't know maybe psu fan isn't kicking in but my corsair tx 650 is only about a year old. and do not worry about reply I do not expect you to be on forums 24/7 mate lol
 
yeah mate my psu is about 1 year old the mobo cpu ram and water cooling are less than a month old so im just trying to elimate one by one
 
yeah i saw that i have had to set llc to turbo and +0.40 dvid to get to 4.5ghz but ive been working with 8 pack on my temps as im sure my cooling should be perfoming better im felling kind of ripped off paying 180 pounds for cooling that isnt performing. on 4.5ghz with 2.84v my temps vary from 70 to 75c (people on air can easily match this) was the hottest on prime FFT test (ive re seated about 7 times now) tryed different tentions on the pins as to make sure im not warping my board. If this continues i may RMA the kit and be done with it seems like major major hassle for nothing. But i really want to get it sorted i like the look of water now if only it would perform (i put on OCCT linpack mode and quickly two core touch 80c and the test stops as this is how i set it)
 
i hope it is just the chip im pretty gutted to be honest i know my chip on 4.5ghz wont get to hot as it will never get to those sort of temp with out stress testing. id just like to thank you for being so helpfull even tho at times its not that easy dealing with a noob lol
