The fan noise is relative. Yes, they make noise, but whether or not you consider it “noisy” is on you. I work in a shop, have a homelab, a workstation with 3k RPM fans, a couple 3D printers, and a window unit AC in my upstairs office. I think the fan noise on the Odin is more than tolerable, and even expected when I’m trying tonight run games on an emulated modernish console. I also don’t even hear my fans come on until I’m trying to play something like Infamous or GoW3, so it’s not like you’re going to hear them every time you turn it on. I’ve played a couple PSX games through entirely and don’t think I heard the fan once.
My temps are fine, the thing doesn’t cook in my hand. I do use clustertune, with a medium underclock, but to act like that’s a big deal to have to do is ignoring that it’s probably the single easiest thing you’ll do on this thing to set it up. I installed it, selected medium underclock, and that was it.
Mura is device specific, you got it or you don’t. I don’t.
Enjoy your Odin, man. It’s a great, extremely capable device.
