I noticed my OLED's fan was running a lot more than it used to, even at lower wattage amounts (~18w). At first I just assumed it was dirty fan/thermal paste, but I cleaned my fan and repasted my APU and it didn't reallt change anything.

Since then I saw someone mention increased fan use since a recent update, so I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this as well?

I had an issue with the fans on mine. Went through steam support for some troubling steps and eventually had to send it in for repair.

~$160 for the repair, but issue is resolved.
