I will likely have to conduct repairs that should have been done in a refurbishing.I was initially thrilled with this purchase.  However the fan noise was surprisingly loud.  I was initially very concerned.  However, this is a popular model and youtube is replete with instructional videos on replacing the fan. Or simply cleaning it. And for this model this is a very common issue.  I am not a techy but I am confident I can handle this repair.  The price for the fan, and the thermo paste its under $75.  However I found another solution online.  I set the power usage limits for the cpu to 48%.  This is enough for anything I will do and keeps heat down and therefore fan running down.  It did so noticeably. If I find I'm running applications that this level is not sufficient then I will change the fan.  I knew there was some risk in buying what is ultimately a use product.  And this fan issue is not a deal breaker for me.
