ReadyNAS Pro: System temp running out of spec
In the last weeks I did have several times where the CPU temp ran out of spec. What's annoying to me is that the cpu fan runs at maximum 1506 rpm?! Shouldn't it rotate much higher to avoid temp runnin...
Is this thread about temp sensor 1 or 2?

As you can see, sometimes they are spurious, like the one at 1:31 and other times they are sustained over several minutes like the one starting at 23:32. I wasn't around when that one happened, but when I see it hit temps as high as 78.5C I usually panic and shutdown for a while.
It does not take much activity for me to get the thing running "out of normal range". I would have to say that if I am doing any kind of sustained activity, then hitting temps between 60 - 65 C *is* normal. The thing is hardly the stealthy device described in the marketing video, since the fans are running full speed whenever it is in use.
I would have to say that my ReadyNAS has always made what I consider a lot of noise, but recently it got worse so I started looking online to see if this was normal. That is when I found this thread. I upgraded the firmware to RAIDiator-x86 4.2.15 yesterday (Jan 2 02:33:25 PST 2011) and at first I thought it was better. Although the fans still ran at high RPM during sustained use, I was not getting warning messages. This was better, although I still would like if it ran quietly like the ad said it would.
Unfortunately, this didn't seem to last. After only a few hours I started getting temp readings so high (80.0C) I decided to shutdown the system for a while. All I am doing is copying large files to the NAS. I am sending over disk images that are between 8 - 40 GB.
