M4300-48X Running Temperature high
I have a switch stack with the M4300-52G on top aand the 2 M4300-48X underneath. The M4300-52G operating temperature is 54C (stated max. in GUI is 90C). I can fell the air exhausting from the fans on...
Yes, they asked for logs and a few questions 2 weeks ago. No answers yet...
I'm looking at buying into Netgear, and a M4300 stack looks compelling, but the various reports of high temperature issues with the M4300-48X give me pause. Has there been any recent progress on this problem?
Various? Can just find this thread - the oddity with the 8X8F LED going amber with the intentionally allowed "fan-free" operations on lower temperatures was explained above.
Mostly this thread and this amazon review:
"They run great, good throughput, working as expected, BUT, they run SUPER HOT. In a properly cooled computer room and equipment rack, if you put your hand on the bottom of the switch, you can almost not keep it there, it's burning hot. We've had 2 fail already, it will be very hard to convince me it's not from overheating."
