Hello !
I have the same problem with my GKMini (Nice little computer btw !) : The fan noise is annoying, as I have opened it I can confirm this is a indeed PWM fan, would it be possible to have an updated BIOS with fan speed control, and TDP control (see below) ? Thanks !

My workaround so far has been to ... remove the fan completely (making it a passive device).
It's idling around 50-55 degrees, which is fine, however in load the temp would go much much higher (80+, which is not fine), so I can't recommend this solution and would advice caution / check your use case if you want to do something similar.
My plan was to reduce the TDP to 6 watts (from 10 watts) to compensate the lower cooling capability, but it seems that I am unable to do so using the BIOS options either : There are lot of options that do not seem to be coded / wired to the hardware (ex : fan enabled on/off doesn't seem to have any impact) or missing (tdp).
I am also searching for alternate options like another bigger heatsink that would be compatible with that board to increase the cooling capability, but no luck so far.
In general an updated /cleaned bios would be appreciated : fan RPM control, TDP, remove options that do not have any effect etc...
Thank you
