I am in the middle of building my first pc.
I have the NZXT H440 case.
I have finished building it and the computer boots up fine, however there seems to be a rattling noise coming from around my power supply. Its not wires as there isnt any wires around or near the fans.
Can anyone help

I would suggest taking the PSU out, you don't have to remove the cables, just unplug them from the unit, and gently wave it around to see if there is anything loose inside it.

Are you 100% sure that the rattling is from your PSU and not your GPU, HDD?
