Don't worry about the burning smell I think.
When I first built this rig, I had someone come in my room and say "Is your computer burning??"
After a while it went away. I don't know, maybe it's new computer smell, or just the equipment being burnt-in(Not literally)
Or it could maybe be some component that is hot coming into contact with something and heat it a bit maybe? like a cable?
Dunno.
If 4.2ghz is stable( I would run the OCCT:Linpack test for an hour, and the OCCT:CPU test as well for an hour and see if you get erorrs., fair warning Linpack really maxes out your temps to the hottest they will ever be, but if it doesn't give you an error or crash then you should be ok. The good thing is realistically your cores will never reach those temps. Oh yeah and go in the options and raise the CPU temp max. By default it's at 70. And if your cores approach that at all linpack will give you an error basically meaning it stopped because your cores were too "hot" when it's not that terribly big of a deal. @3.9ghz with the stock heatsink my i7 950 would reach 100c on one or more cores at max load.)
