I just bought and installed on my setup a brand new Montech Century II 850W PSU.

The PC works as intended for now but the power supply is making weird random single "click" noises that are not super loud, but quite audible.

They happen specially when turning on and off the PC, as well as when the power draw increases. I tested it with the smart fan config on and off, but the clicking noises keep happening.

Also, it really doesn't sound like an issue with the fan, it sounds more like a loud light switch or something similar.

I found many people with this same exact issue on this century II model, but there hasn't been a definite answer about the cause and I don't know if I should be worried.

If possible, I would like to not RMA it, so I really wish this is normal and I can just keep using my PC, but I never heard anything like this in other PSU I've had in the past.

I would love some help with this, I fought so hard for this PC and now I'm scared something will happen to it.
