More on CPU specs of the ReadyNAS Pro

it always depends on your Board Version, and the Firmware. I have a first Gen. ReadyNAS Business and the best what i can use in it is a Intel E6600 (2x 2.6 GHz / 4 Cache / Bus 1066MHz). In a second ReadyNAS PRO Business, but much newer, a Intel Q6600 (4x 2.6 GHz / 8 Cache / Bus 1066MHz) is runing just perfekt AND COOLER! Always check the TEMP on your CPU under full load.


But you cut put practically any CPU that fits this Profile: 1.) the Socket LGA775 2.) Busspeed max. 1066MHz
and i think in some Mainbordversions only Max TDP 65W but this is variable you have to find out.
(as far i found out, more Cache on the CPU is better than more GHz)

Like these
E6600 or E6700 (runs hotter)

You can try running this add-on (install in FrontView, don't need USB boot anymore), which will update to the latest I had at the time: http://www.readynas.com/download/addons ... .5-x86.bin (Link Fixed) That v0.5 add-on provides these BIOS versions: Ultra2/ReadyNAS-ProUltra2 (1102/v1. Ultra4/ReadyNAS-NVX-V2 (0823/v1.1) Ultra6/FLAME6-2 (0610/v1.1) Pro(6)/FLAME6-MB (0726/v2.0)
