Just got an aurora today, and it's quite noisy
I'm not sure if something is wrong or not, or perhaps this is just a powerful, loud machine. One of the fans in there is really going, same loudness all the time. The thermal control application tells me my PCI fan is at 55%, constantly, and the same for my hard drive fan. yet it says system fan is 0, CPU fan is about 1200ish and all three ambient censors are 0C. Is the app just not working right? is the Aurora supposed to be so loud?

Thanks but it's fixed itself somehow. Today when I turned the PC back on, the fan went back to normal speed, and now the thermal controls are giving a proper readout. Not sure what happened.

IDK, compare your fan wiring to this photo of a brand new Aurora as shipped top lighting board:

Gremlins leftover from shipping. If the issue returns, you can power down, open your case, & make sure all your connections are seated, but be careful since it's delicate work in there. Navigate support to find your chassis service manual pdf doc for component removal to get @ the wiring:

So far so good. The funny thing is I'd swear I remember a similar fan issue with my last Dell (Studio XPS 9100) when it first arrived, back in 2010.
