Yes, thermostatically controlled is what makes sense, like laptops and many other appliances.
But no luck, mine is always on now, even after a reboot and even after rebooting it after it has cooled down completely.
I think this is a fault, the unit is cold and the hard disk is not spinning, I am going to disconnect the fan, in the worst case I will have to get a newer, quieter box.
I had this same problem with a gigabit switch, I disconnected the fan and is still working after more than five years, even in the very hot summers of south Spain.

There's talk that a reboot might return the situation to normallity

On the other hand maybe your fan has just become noisier causing you to notice it more. Maybe it just needs some lubrication? |
