High Pro 2 CPU Temperatures/Fan speed not steady
Hi folks, my IT guys have been buying lots of Duos over the past couple of years for file storage for my offices and I decided to get 2 - Pro 2's for my home, one for a HomeServer to share, and one fo...
Ok, to report back, before I flashed back to 4.2.21, I did a complete powerdown, unplug, --- instead of the warm boots. I should have done a complete power down before.
Now, with 4.2.22, the fan runs about 800 rpm, and kicks in to about 1130 RPM at CPU 55 C. When the CPU drops back down to 50 C, the fan drops back down to about 800 RPM. I can live with that, 55. I presume NetGear is balancing CPU temp to Fan Speed Noise ratio. Seeing this cpu is a passive cooled fin radiator, I guess one can live with 50-55, a lot better than the 70's.
I am going to wait until the 2nd Pro 2 arrives and open a ticket for discussion purposes with tech just to make sure 50-55 is correct. Thank you StephenB. --one more question, where do they archive the previous versions??
