Normal
While I have the SUB, from my two weeks time with it, I notice even its fan spins up more than I had expected. It's not supposed to until 30% load but with some video watching on a web browser it spins up rather sporadically, not very loud but just like it is stsrting to kick in. It does this even though it's drawing only ~40 watts at the wall according to my wattmeter. Per spec it should spin up at 90 watts. Maybe I'll try the Noctua swap but I'm always on headphones so it's more tolerable.Also, on the production of these cases, I've decided to go with a more different case design for the SFX version. My reasoning for this is that I want to make it accessible to more users, both in ease of building in and in printing. This requires a different design in which individual parts should not exceed 300mm in length but while still supporting 300mm long GPUs. It will be done without big compromises to the structure of the case so that it can remain very portable. The current Flex ATX design with the rounded corners will still be available. But moving forward I'm going with the newer design for printable cases as it's easier to scale up.
