CPU temperature below ambient temperature Case# 21233008

I received an RMA Pro Business edition to replace my Ultra 6 plus.
I have noticed that the CPU temperature runs about 8 celcius below the ambient temperature.
It is currently reading 11 celcius and the temperature of the room is 19.
This seems to be impossible as there is no active cooling nor is there any process like evaporation that would allow this temperature to fall below ambient.
Does anyone else see this?

I am running 4.2.23

  • Ok, hopefully to draw this to a conclusion, Netgear's RMA process is very good and I have another unit which has more appropriate temperature readings and no fan rattle yet. I must say that apart from not answering my questions about the temperature readings the support has been reassuringly efficient. I still feel this is one of the most important features of a NAS. The forum support is still far better than that found on qnap or synology forums, even without many posts from Netgear personnel. The warranty support has been pretty good too.
