Low noise reported on the 8533 MT/s unit
Qian Weide describes the fan as inaudible at idle, quiet in games and acceptable under heavy work, with a broad airflow sound. This is a subjective account of its regional review unit; it is not a standardized noise result.

Gaming fan noticeable in a quiet room
Teacher Mo reports that the fan was noticeable during the Black Myth: Wukong benchmark in a quiet room, though game audio masked it. This differs from Qian Weide’s quieter impression; software, settings and measurement conditions are not matched.

Bluetooth failed in the reviewed SteamOS setup
Teacher Mo reports working Wi-Fi and graphics but unusable Bluetooth on the MT7925 module in its SteamOS community build. The reviewer used wired or 2.4GHz controllers as alternatives. The exact distribution and kernel are unconfirmed, so this does not establish compatibility with current Linux releases.
