Burning capacitor electrolyte
Hot printed circuit boards, of course. Probably a blow dryer on max temperature for 10 minutes against an old PCIe card would give you an idea of what that smells like. (Do this outside, obviously.)
Ask an LLM chat, of course.
This is the way. Though I would say what does burnt GPU smell like? That's the smell of burnt tokens.
ChatGPT gave me an idea, but I was wondering what human minds can come up with.
I would go for that tarry smoky smell you get from a heap of bbq briquettes just as they are set on fire.
Ozone?
ChatGPT indeed suggested a pinch of ozone, but I'm not sure how one puts that in a candle.
I think this is the answer.
Melted plastic
