I know that power supplies have fans that run and make noise, but I just installed a new one and I hear a constant clicking noise. I'm not sure if that's the noise of the fan itself or what's wrong with it. I don't think anything is stuck in there because it's new. Can someone help me?

It might now be completely secured in your case. You may want to pull the case off and double check it. If it's still clicking, I'd call the manufacturer and get their recommendation on what to do: exchange it for another or replace the fans.

It could be that a loose cable is touching the rotating blades of the fan. Open the case and make sure that all cables close to the fan are properly secured.

I would check what you did with the wires first. There is more than on fan in that case, and you may have one getting in the way of the CPU or a graphics card, or a... well you get the picture.

Dirt might be building up on the fan blades.
