I would accept the shorter lifespan just because of the fan noise. Small and cheap fans are very noticeable in otherwise quiet rooms. I'd hate it.

- adrianmonk 7y agoI hate fan noise too. Sometimes it's necessary, though. But yeah, noise is another trade-off to consider. Regarding Raspberry Pi specifically, larger, slow-moving fans tend to be quieter than smaller, fast-moving fans. The Pi is compact, so a small fan would be the natural choice.
