Thanks - I could've sworn it didn't USED to happen on my old box. At least not originally. But now both ChromeBoxes (HP Celeron, ASUS i3) do it identically, and the one has a BIOS that's well over a year old.
It's not so much the starting up at high speed, it's how long it stays there. And I'm pretty sure there are instances where it either never ramps back down again, or takes an abnormally long time. My old system is in a cabinet so I can't hear it too clearly, but the new one is in the open so it's painfully obvious when 30 seconds in it's still whirring away at full speed.
