Yep, especially with some of the MQ skins CPU usage will go through the roof when sitting idle on the main menu and "Movies" are highlighted.
Anyway, you can totally control how loud the fans are going to be in the BIOS. It's not an issue. The machine is barely drawing any power during playback or real idle and is completely silent.
