Recent changes in your software might be triggering the coil whine. The issue appears to occur only while using the RGB control app, and it disappears when you close the program. This suggests a connection between the software state and the audio output.
You're correct. It seems like the system is running DDR5 and might be experiencing some issues.
It's DDR4 with G.Skill Trident Z 16GB at 2400Mhz. Others have reported similar issues on different systems and settings. Some think the problem comes from the PWM signal used for lighting effects, which causes a high-pitched whine only when an addressable effect is shown. This noise disappears when using the default "rainbow" effect.
