    Hello,
    I'm thinking of buying this monster.
    I'm mostly concerned of fan noise when not gaming. In a quiet environment, like office, for internet browsing and text editing, how's the noise of it?

    Also, maybe you tried daisy-chaining external monitors via DisplayPort of it? Does it work?

    The noise is almost not present if you setup a profile NOT for gaming ...
    I used only the HDMI port for 1 Display... not sure about the USB C video out
