Did you have any activation issues or was it "automatic"?
Regarding the fans; look around in the BIOS for fan controls. They vary from board to board, but you should find a "curve" mechanism that will allow you to spin the fans pretty much as you see fit.
You'll have to let Windows Update have its way. You might be able to delay it for 35 days, but sooner or later it will force you into an update. You ought to update now to make sure you are current and then decide whether or not you want to use any delaying tactics. You have some control over during what hours it will do the update.
Some people are obsessed with drivers. I'm not, as long as stuff is working as anticipated. Suit yourself.
I'd get a backup plan in operation, but you may like to live dangerously. Many do.
