Wow I feel like something may be wrong with me.
This isn’t the first comment I’ve read about the noise, but I’ve had an 8i5beh for almost 5 years (just replaced a dead fan last week!) and a 13anhi5. I never notice them, they’re essentially fanless to me.
Currently sits at 40db in my bedroom with the fan at 100% 24/7.
Is it a high pitched whine? Or is it like… unfavorable harmonics? I have an old brocade switched that had a very discordant sound, I did end up replacing those fans.
