I have a Pace V2 box and the noise of the fan when it kicks in is a quite loud whirring - i can hear it above the TV from the other side of the room? It seems to come on for about 30 mins then go off again for a while. It mostly come on when the hard disk is recording and im watching something.
Is this normal or do i have a faulty box?
According to some of the posts on Digitalspy this is quite usual with some of the Pace boxes. They recommend fitting a fanmate to the box to slow down the fan.
I can't say I've noticed any fan noise from my Amstrad and it even runs cooler than the previous Pace Ntl boxes.

Yeah, i've looked at all those sites and the people on there - but this one is genuinely quite loud.
I am getting the box replaced to see if its a faulty fan but if the new one is the same i will run the fan permanenly off the 5v line on the Hard Disk, this makes it run a lot slower (and thereby much quieter), but keeps the temps down too.
