ReadyNAS Pro 6 Temperature

So ranges on power up were erratic before, and that is fixed? This thread was going on run-time values being way off, and possible labels being backwards.

I'm on 4.2.22 and labels are still backwards. Either that or the CPU is really 30°C colder than everything surrounding it.

Several people in the french community (including the french sub-forum here) have a problem with the ultra6/pro6 temp. Each one, after the 4.2.22 update, reported a bugged constant 50°C CPU temp.

the CPU really IS running cooler than everything else since its the only thing receiving active cooling. everything else just gets the little airflow from the chassis fan.

Why does the "system" temperature get so high so quickly then, it reaches mid 50s celcius almost immediately after booting from cold, and the "CPU" temp seems to vary according to environmental temperature.
Also there are postings of temperatures from other readynas units that indicate high cpu temperatures which is what I would expect, for example:

viewtopic.php?f=24&t=66947

Now... surely the labels are reversed?

all atom-based nas (including the one in the thread you linked to) have absolutely NO active cpu cooling. they are all beeing passively cooled by the chassis fan so they will of course get hot.

you need to compare apples with apples here.

it is a fact that the labels are not reversed.

But, why do many people with ultra 6 NAS get constant 50°C since 4.2.22, even people who had working 35-40°C before ?

I can confirm the permanent 50 degrees on the Ultra 6 with .22 as well.
Even thought the atom cpu has a passive heat sink, the fan blows pretty well over the cpu.
The case is pretty well designed. I've replaces the fan with a more quiet and effective on, and disabled the PSU fan.
Very quiet and no problems!

bajorgensen that would of course have voided your warranty. A replacement fan might not cool the system properly leading to higher temperatures than would otherwise be the case. Now so long as the temperatures don't get too hot you'd hopefully be O.K. but NetGear does optimise fan control etc. for the fans they use and other fans may not do an adequate job.

I don't think disabling the PSU fan was a good idea either. Any fans used would be used with good reason. If it isn't properly cooled the PSU could overheat.

There are dead zones in the case, that without the PSU fan circulating air, components will die faster.
