I'm a bit skeptical as to whether having two fans versus one on the Noctua makes any significant difference? As long as airflow is going...

This is the same rack as the one Aldi were selling a few years ago, but with a grey instead of black/read paint job. Was $199 at the time!...

BIOS update happened during initial Windows setup and reboot. Weird, but seems to be on the latest version.
