Osseo Meat Market also does custom cuts, say for example if you want a raw, uncured, unsmoked ham... They can make it happen. An interesting tib bit, beef prices are are higher in the MSP area as opposed to the Seattle area. I will return to this place, in fact I look forward to it.
the fan speed is controlled by the motherboard and changes in response to CPU usage. If it cranks up, chances are you are running a program that is using a lot of the CPU.
The speed of the fan is highly subjective to the controller regulating it, the type and model of the fan itself, or the load/temperature of the CPU. From my experience, that speed is nothing out of the ordinary.
