During idle, the fan comes on for 20sec every 3-5 min or so. During load, it's on full time with varying speeds. Honestly I wish it would be on full time at a very low speed so it'd be less intrusive...

CPU whine has been in existing for years in the industry now, an industry with ever low cost components. nothing you can do about it. luckily that it is not loud enough unless you want to hear it.

Well if it receives at roughly 2.4GHz and transmits at 2.4Ghz that equals approx 5Ghz.
Theoretical maximum speeds and actually clockable speeds may vary:)

Which batch is your computer from (should be on the yellow or blue sticker on the broadside of the box)? Date code? SNID?
Tried ones from 1/10 and 1/11 and they all had the whine to some extent.
