After 2 years of usage, almost 24/7, the there is only one issue that
I have: The fan start to be noisy and bios report "Fan error". 

This was prior I find that it was running in "auto" mode which, under
Linux without fan-control, mean all the time.

Fortunately local dealer service replace the failing fan with 24 hours.

I believe that PC Doctor[1] is the "official" tool that services are
using for hardware diagnostic
