I had a friend ask for recommendations for prebuilts. I found one that was under budget and over spec for their needs and sent them the info. They ended up going with an overbudget one with arguably worse specs (they didn't really need the specs I was suggesting but bang for buck it made sense and was still under budget) because it had all the lights that the seller could shove in it. No real judgement if that's your style and you have the money, but it just upset me to have spent time doing research for them only to have them ignore all of that because they failed to mention that lights were important.
The bloody lights everyone is obsessed with nowadays caused me numerous nights of shit sleep. Some devices designed by companies who clearly think too much of themselves decided that they would keep their LEDs on despite the computer shutting down.
If anyone else is experiencing this issue, look for ErP in your BIOS/EFI and then turn it on/enable it.
Caveat: you won't be able to charge your USB devices using your PC USB ports while the PC is shutdown if you change this setting.
Turns out that my CPU fan requires a proprietary device to turn off the rgb in it, or adjust it at all.
Unless the fan has a separate battery back up (which would be very weird) then this should not matter if you enable ErP.
AFAIK enabling ErP will shut off power to all components when the computer is turned off. Good luck!
