Hello everyone,

I just built my PC, and when I plug it into the power supply, it makes a single spark, then everything works normally. Is this normal? For your information, I have a RM850x from Corsair.

Hello,

A small arc at the socket, although to be avoided, is "normal"; switching power supplies are known for this. If there is one, switch the power supply off before plugging it in.

Best regards.
