There seem to be two issues;
1. The fans are near constantly working away and when left to idle, seem to really spin up. Unless I setup Custom fan speed in Control Center they seem to be working too hard for the temperatures.
2. There is constant noise, a bit like a disc loading, think it's the 1st hard drive (spec below)? It's continual and always 2-3 seconds apart.
Video (best to use earphones):

Apart from the noise and fans, machine has been very stable since buying a month ago.
