Noise changes with the selected power mode
ServeTheHome reports a barely audible fan in low-power mode at one metre and more audible operation in performance mode. This concerns its 128GB review unit and is not a standardized MiniPCBench noise measurement.

Idle fan behavior differed between operating systems
Paul Gallant reports that his 128GB unit became inaudible while idle in Ubuntu Studio, while its fan kept running under Windows. Video rendering made the fan start again. OS builds, firmware and power settings were not fully documented.
Paul Gallant · 10:20 -
Manual fan controls had a heat and noise trade-off
Tek Syndicate reports that fixed low fan settings let its 96GB review unit get too hot during testing, while the next tested setting was audibly bothersome. The reviewer wanted a configurable fan curve. These manually changed settings do not describe stock behavior or later firmware.

SSD hatch is easy to access

Aftermarket cooler and PSU did not fit unchanged
GucksTV reports that the attempted Noctua NH-L9i cooler and SilverStone 600W Flex ATX power supply would require modifications to fit. The reviewer found memory, SSD and Wi-Fi-card replacement straightforward. This concerns those attempted parts, not every aftermarket option.
