Product: HP - OMEN 25L Gaming PC - Intel® Core™ i5, RTX 2060, 1 TB HDD & 256 GB SSD
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My new HP Omen is very new, literally a couple of days old. I want to be pleased with it as it runs well however, today, 2 days after I received it, I've been hearing these sporadic clicking noises coming from inside the Omen. I may be overeacting as it may just be part of the PC but its something I've never heard before so I wanted some clarification.

 

Initially after searching on the internet, most people pointed at the hard drive as the source of the clicks, but I ran the quick and extensive tests as advised by HP and it passed both so it cannot be the issue. After listening to it closer, the clicks are definitely coming from the PSU.

 

Are the clicking noises I'm hearing normal or is it faulty?
