So, gigabyte mobos have weird system fan pin outs and it’s taken me hours of poking around to get the new case & fans behaving properly but it’s now very quiet 🥳. Realised something was wrong when I unplugged the PWM feed cable to the fan hub and everything got quieter!
Next step is replacing the 2x HDD with a bigger SDD - had no idea they were so loud until I unplugged them. CPU cooler is stock but it’s almost silent at idle. Speaking of which, system draws 72w at idle and PSU fan is nowhere near turning on.
