That is incorrect information, All DWs have fan noise, I should know, I've had 3. The DWF is also audible, but to a lesser extent as only one fan. These are those tiny fans that used to feature in laptops and mobo chipsets of old, they are audible but not in the idstracting way, more an ambient h=um like discussed loads of times in this thread too. Just that it's funny a monitor having a fan and being louder than a gaming PC is all.
I think @Grim5 was talking about the F, and not the original. If you have an F version (with the later updates or release or fabrication period with acceptable QC) then there should be no active fan on the F until it is needed (coil whine is another item that may or may not be heard). Although, as said, the exacty component it's trying to cool down on the F is unknown, but tests had shown bright elements will heat the screen up (you can feel the heat from the screen when putting your hand up near it) and won't turn off once on until after turning off or going to stand-by.
