I do not get any noise at all on my Ultimo.. on boot or any other time..

Defo something wrong..

Did you buy from WOS.. ?? If yes.. Im sure they will be only too happy to help..

If not.. Then contact the seller you bought it from.. and see what they say and tell them your not happy with the outcome..

..... i noticed the last week when is booting makes noise,after booting become quietet again.this is normal???....
Yes, this is perfectly normal. During the first phase of the boot-process, the fan will run at full speed. Once the OS drops in, it takes command of the fan-speed, which will be very much lower.
So your reseller is right there.

[Mr. Mister]

I dont have this with my Ultimo Rob..

[Rob van der Does]

I don't have this with my Ultimo Rob..
Well, than something is definitely wrong with your box. Both UNO & Ultimo fans work this way.
Of course being able to hear the fan on top-speed (for a number of seconds during the boot-proces) is also dependant on the location of the box, ambient noise and the sensitivity of your ears..........

I got this fan as replacement and since then its been very quiet
