I slept for years with my Linux desktop/server next to my bed, running 24/7, with a hard disk drive and cheap-end cpu/case fans. The only time I was bothered when the original case fan went bonkers and started making hell of a racket.

(I don't use that thing any more, because it got way too obsolete, but I still have a NAS box with a fan and hard drive and it's not bothering me at all.)

I'm said "kid", and for me, no. I sometimes fall asleep with mine on no problem. the problem is more so the electricity waste, and the stupid rgb ram I can't turn off even in sleep mode

You could open the case, and find the tiny cables that are labeled LCD(XXX) and disconnect them I suppose. Just don't disconnect your USB ports and power/reset buttons.

The labels are on the board, not the cables generally speaking.

Difference in the types of noises. Back then basically mid range sounds and rumbly low end sounds (this was rare). Today it's all high pitched noises. Hard as hell on the ears if you are sensitive to that (like I am).
