I’ve had no issue with my fan but I saw this video showing the G2 fan and how easy it’s going to be to swap it out. About the 6:50 mark is the part about the fan.

Good luck

Ed, no issue here, the fan in my G2 is pretty quiet.

I've noticed it as well with my G2. Now if I can find a fan like a Noctua but with the specs of the current fan.

I think the Fan in the top cover of the G2 is 92mm by 25mm which spins at 2,000rpm.
