My best guess would be that is that the BIOS standard is to have them on when PSU gets power. And it takes that 'long' to load your personal configuration. You could possibly prevent this by using an RGB hub. But its unlikely due to the daisy chaining. As long as the cables that go into both sockets dont get hot it should be safe. (The PSU sends 5Vsb as soon as the PSU is power to give the motherboard the power to wake the system. (like power for keaybord and mouse and more))

Maybe check in the hardware monitor settings? It might have a high temp alert or something else? I was also thinking maybe 2,4Ghz (BlueTooth frequency) interference, but since Bluetooth is digital its either working or not. ish.

No need, i was just trying to help. If you have a 2nd monitor you can drag the volume mixer on there. If not, what game is it, maybe it just has that sound in it? Or is it the same sound in multiple games? Do you have any apps running in the background maybe? Is it possible to maybe record the sound? Or is it to random? Does your headphones have a long cable thats maybe close to another giving interference? Im asking these questions as we need to find the source, then we can fix it. I hope im not being to rude, i do not mean it as such.

Hmm thta is a weird one, i dont know what to tell you, besides see what the volume mixer says. Also mention this in first post, in case ppl dont read the rest. This is important info where the sound is coming from! The more specific you are in your question (specialy if you show effort) the help will be that much better!!!

Specs? Also try and find some audio on "coil-whine" most likely its that. GPU and PSU are the biggest coil-whine culprits afaik.

Have you reset the BIOS after the update? Might help.

Yeah need way more info. what device what OS What website What did you try to fix it What do you expect to happen etc Do the work.

Nothing much besides replacing it. There might be a more silent model. You could try and dampen the sound but not all drive mount let you dampen the vibrations. Or you could go into power settings in your OS and have it turn of the drive after certain period. But in use all of them make sound. While some are more silent then others, mechanical harddrives have a motor in them to rotate the platters, so they will always make some sound.

Im dutch but i do not understand what you mean with keyshaped holes... Maybe share a picture for example or something. In the netherlands we use the Type F / Schuko CEE 7/3 WCD + CEE 7/4 plug system. With these plugs and sockets You can check this wiki for more types: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country Might be able to find the type you want from there even.

Vivaldi is another chromium browser you could try. (Has built in adblocking an no google tracking but the plugins all work the same). But im using Firefox now and i cannot say its any slower then a chromium browser. (i dont use Google Chrome).

Oh yeah, they dont care. We gamers/consumers dont matter, just our money matters. And then they wonder why we dont spend as much of it anymore, if the only thing we can afford is total fucking garbage.

Just FYI Noctua aren't always the best price/quality, here a pack of 5 is the same for the same price as 2 Noctua fans, and i can tell from experience these are very quiet too. (tried on 120mm version) https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-P14-Value-Pack-Pressure-optimised/dp/B07HC9ZWDN/ this is 140mm edition

Yup, @Eigenvektoris correct. I did mean i have more hope for optimisation from indie developers. (if they are in teams or not). The big boys, that do it just for the profit or to keep their board (of directors) satisfied, do enough to make it work on most systems that are currently in use. Simple cost - benefit calculation (for some). So no they dont do it like you said, but the big corpo's do manage to spend more on research for market demand (or just cheap out and use Steam survey thingy info). Then try and aim to satisfy that as that would result in the best financial gains. But i tought this was obvious, i guess not. Sorry. Oh and calm down, if i didnt get this 3060 for free, i'd still be rocking a 1060. And gaming on it too!

There is only 1 (maybe 2 or 3) different versions of a PS5. There are technically and factually MILLIONS of variations for PC. So there's that too.

Game making if not a single indie-dev doing it for a hobby, is just a cost/reward game. They will make the game as good as they can within a certain time/money limit. Thus optimization is not the highest priority anymore, mostly also because the hardware is just that fast today. Also "Optimisation" is a really broad term. There is CPU and GPU cycle optimisation, but also file-size optimization, start up time optimisation and etc.
