Fan noise did not intrude during review
Mr. Sujano described the fans as audible but unobtrusive during his use of the Ryzen 7 255 model. This is his subjective experience, without a comparable sound-pressure measurement.

Protective film left on a thermal pad
Robtech found protective plastic still covering a memory/storage thermal pad in his review sample and left it in place for his thermal tests. This is a fault observed on that unit, not an established failure rate.
