Fan was barely noticeable during Dota 2
Mash IT said he hardly noticed the fan while playing Dota 2 in Performance mode on his 32GB/1TB K16. His result differs from Team Pandory's load test; firmware and room conditions were not established as equivalent.

Booted from a USB-C power-delivery dock
Mash IT unplugged the barrel power supply and powered the K16 from a 100W USB-C dock. This verifies that connection in his setup; it does not establish compatibility with every dock or sustained performance at every power limit.
