Well yesterday ordered one of these,

then I ordered the header (sigh) just in case and a case,

they were pushed through the letterbox this morning.

I have a Raspnian Desktop image

> Raspbian Buster with desktop             Image with desktop

with a librespot Spotify-Connect client.

I assembled fan, header and case and powered up.

The fan began to spin and was just audible at about half a metre in a
quite room (faint noise, I would call it).

Started to play Music and ran a temerature check, got 42C. Played a ry
Cooder You Tube via the Chromium browser, same temp.

Swapped the sd card for a pCP install and started fip radio, temp given
as 44C, njust checked again and it's 43C.

Seems to work.

Pimoroni offer a script for raspbian which allows the fan to run
automatically to a preset temerature.
