I recently upgraded my PC to the ch270 by Deepcool to save desk space. I switched from the Lian Li A3 to this vertical build for that reason. Soon after, I heard a sparking noise near the GPU. It only happens during gaming and when the case is flat, making it stop. Could you help explain what’s going on?

The most likely cause was improper seating of the connector. Similar issues occurred when the PSU outlet didn’t make good contact.

I made sure to connect the GPU port and will inspect the PSU tomorrow morning.
