Use a .50 nozzle.
Print at about 600 mm/min.
Generally speaking, you should get great results as long as everything is in good working order.

Re: MINTEMP triggered
To test your harness try the following: Heat your hotend to print temperature. While watching your temperature plot, move the extruder assembly back and forth by hand.

Do you have a V4 hotend? If so, you may want to upgrade to the metal motor mount.

Re: Strange Noise
If you run that print dry (no filament) does the sound continue?
I would also check to see if the extruder assembly seems loose at all.
