You may want to check if it has a "fusion drive" (hdd with small ssd cache), or an ssd.

IIRC, old macs with hard drives used non standard temperature sensors on the hard drives (instead of on cpu/gpu). When not running MacOS, the computer hardware couldn't tell what the temperature was, so it would run the fans at full speed just to be safe. It could get quite loud.

You might want to do some research on that particular model to see if it would be affected.
