I have the NAS case with fan (and tall heatsink). With ATS installed (https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=6489) the fan is thermally controlled. Using the test feature I personally found the fan to be fairly quiet even on higher speeds but so far under normal use it's not even on.
Having the fan is insurance for your SoC.
