My ex had one of them RGB everything rainbow gamer PCs.
Windows would auto boot to update in the middle of the night and turn the whole apartment into a rave...
I have a gaming machine with no crazy RGBs, but the video card has a loud fan when at maximum. Most of the time it isn't at maximum. When using the desktop it's nice and quiet. When gaming it depends on the game, but mostly it's not too loud. But. BUT! When it first turns on, the fans go to max for a second or two. I was woken up more than once by Windows deciding it needed to turn my PC on to install an update, and the fans screaming for a second as it booted.
I eventually found a setting that disabled that behaviour, but Microsoft made it so incredibly hard. Now that that machine is almost 100% Linux I never have to worry about that.
damn, that sucks
also because that's the only thing about that ex i know, the only conclusion i can make is that you stopped dating because of random middle of the night RGB raves
Just flip the switch on the back of the power supply after shutting down the computer or turn off the UPS.
