ReadyNAS Pro: System temp running out of spec

Separate issue, but yes, it is being addressed also.

Just a little note. Just bought one of two used Pro units for parts. They looked almost new and where RMA'd because of overheating issues.

Took the CPU cooler off and found that the plastic cover was still on the cpu cooler. No wonder it was overheating. Made contact with the cooler and what do you know, I now have a perfectly good Pro.

Don't know if you want to suggest people pull their cpu coolers off and check, but apparently someone was careless at the factory that day.

Any chance you could post pictures to help those of us who wouldn't mind trying?

Thanks! :)

Wow. For those of us who have built our own systems, that is an easy fix. I don't know that I would have thought of that. You probably found it because you were starting to disassemble the unit. I would assume that the unit would use some thermal paste such as Artic Siver 5.

Sent you a PM to get the system serial number, this will be investigated.

But this results in a cpu temp issue and not a system temp issue of which we're talking about in this thread, right?

Correct, the issue we've been discussing in this thread is related to the system temp, not the CPU temp.
