Going to Build Intel NUC Server Fan or Not?


I will have the server in my listening space although it will be about 14 feet away from my listening spot and situated on a side wall bookcase. I will ethernet connect the NUC server direct to my router and from the router I will fiber optic cable connect to my Weiss 501, my sole source of playback. Do any of you find the fan noise to be an issue? I will most likely go with a 10th generation I7 NUC.

Go fanless, if possible. Fans always get noisier. If the build requires a fan (for heat management reasons), then it can be replaced once you start noticing the sound.
