Well I have experienced the loud fan, reagardless of using optical audio output or hdmi and the tvs sound system. The fan noise starts quickly and intensifies after the console is on for about 5 minutes to full fan speed! Pretty loud although there are no problems with performance. I have an older system and suspect the thermal compound may need to be replaced.
