Hey there, I’m just getting started with PC builds and wanted to check if this is something to worry about. I bought the system today and when I powered it off for the first time, I heard some static or electrical noise coming from the power supply unit. I’m not sure what could be causing it. I saw that ErP mode seems to fix the problem, but it’s not an option in the BIOS—it’s something you’d see during a pre-assembly. Since I’m planning to upgrade this later, I’m curious if this noise is a concern. My build specs are: PC model ACER Predator Orion 3000 PO3-640. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your reply. It's reassuring to know you're comfortable with the situation. I've been testing the game and everything seems fine—temperatures are stable, and it resets when I power it up. I'm not planning to return it since I'm enjoying the performance, especially this is the only minor issue I've noticed. I'm eager to hear more opinions and insights from others.
