Just got my LCD deck. I am surprised how loud the fans are blowing even when there are no games playing. Is this normal?

    I think at first the deck runs a lot toprocess so it can be normal for it to heat a little when doing these tasks, even if there are no games running. It should clam down after a while. My deck normally don’t use its fans that much when iddling, but if it happens to move some datas it can go wild as if running a AAA game. Give it some time.

    Are you download and installing games? Believe it or not this can be a very CPU intensive task and your fans will ramp up while this is happening. It’s perfectly normal and will quieten down again once the updates are done.
