How quite is it running?

It is quiet, but you can hear it running. It might be a distraction if used intermittently in a home theater environment. I have no way of measuring actual decibels.

Sorry,no idea. I simply run it at max. I doubt there's any downside so long as you don't peer directly into it. Good luck/stay happy.

Not a lot, if it's quiet you can somewhat hear it running in the background

I really haven't used it that much so, so far it's fine. I hope this helps.

It's relatively quiet. It's not a mechanical keyboard so it's not that loud. It's average I'd say.

Unfortunately it's not. BUT I've had multiple large programs running at once and it doesn't bog at all. For everyday media/home use it doesn't skip a beat!

So far it's run everything I've thrown at it. I bought it to run games but I've been doing so autocad drawings and it runs flawlessly.

It's not too loud. Certainly much quieter than some of the larger HP units in our neighborhood.

No, it does not need to be running. I see there are several answers all look correct.

We've had ours for over two months and it is still running as well as the first day, use it every day, multiple times a day. Very pleased with it.

no, I hardly notice it running and it's totally worth the investment. Thinking about ordering another one for my nightstand!

We are running it 8 hours a day and have done so for two months. So far it has not overheated. We are very pleased with it.

I have not. It's been running five days a week no issues. This has been ever since I got it. Well worth it.

We were WELL pleased with it's performance last year, we haven't started up yet this year but don't anticipate any problems. Our friends has had one for several years and they are still very pleased.

It is running fine for me. The mouse cursor is only active on screen when you are using the mouse stick, otherwise the cursor is hidden.
