Hi, I just bought new  MSI MPG A850G PCIE5 850W and barely installed it. I'm 100% sure that everything is connected well. This click sound happens only when turning on or off PC, and it's just fracture of a second, everything works and sounds normal so IDK if I should be concerned.

That's most likely the sound of a relay turning on/off, and it's completely normal. I have multiple power supplies that make the same noise.

My SF750 has a distinct relay click, I actually like it.
