Extruder Fan on Selftest

New MK2S with v3.0.11 firmware. My first 3D printer.

Selftest for the left fan (the extruder fan) does make the fan spin but it isn't a constant running, it seems to pulse in speed with a cycle of about 0.5 Hz.

Is this normal?

The front fan runs at just one speed during its test.

Going to assume this is new. I had same issue and was also a new fan, so I thought the fan was not working correctly. Glad to hear not the only one to have same issue.

The best way is print the Adapter for the noozlefan and put a 40mm noctua fan on it. Why? It's quiter and your wife was happy;) this little fan was of poor quality I think. After 100h off printing I gives Bad noises.
