Corsair RM850X coil whine: only kicks in once I richt click and open file explorer in Windows 10

[Kayron]

Hi,

So I have this strange problem with my new computer: whenever I open file explorer I've noticed my corsair RM850x kicking in (a short audible surge or noise that sounds like whenever you put in a disc in a cd-rom, which is not present on this system, and the reading kicks in) and creating this noise at a slightly annoying frequency that sounds like coil whine. It doesn't seem to be the fan as I can not feel anything when I put my hands under the case. It only goes away (and as far as I can tell stays away) after I have streamed or played a movie. And it's the same story all over when I open file explorer again.

I have then tried to load a bunch of programs or things that open maps like control panel, anything to see if a similar action would replicate the issue. Nothing. Only when I right click and open file explorer. It seems to not like the quick reading of the drives that you can see is happening during loadup when the green bar is loading in the location bar of the map.

Anything dangerous going on here (talking about the surge sound) and any idea what is wrong?

My system:

Windows 10 64bit
Gigabyte GA X99 Ultra Gaming
i7-6800k
MSI GTX 1070 Z 8GB
Samsung 850 PRO 256GB
random Western Digital 1TB hdd
16GB RAM
Corsair RM850X

I don't believe the noise is from the PSU. If it happens when some disc is being read it's probably that, the disc.

I have no disc drive on my computer.

So nobody has had a similar experience or advice/possible explanation of what is going on?
