Fan stops after boot? (Resolved - Normal)

I got a second Axe-Fx III today, brand new. When I power the unit on, the fan spins (visually confirmed through the side of the unit) until the boot process is complete but then stops once the unit is fully booted up. My existing unit's fan runs the entire time it is powered on.

Anyone else? I've opened a ticket with support just in case.

Edit: support says this is normal because newer units have temperature controlled fan.

That was quick! Per Mark Day himself, the newer Axe-Fx III's have a temperature activated fan that runs only when necessary. Normal functioning. Nothing to see here. :D
 
Mine shuts off after booting, then it'll come on a few minutes later (and stay on) without touching it. Probably thermal related.
