ReadyNAS Ultra 2 sensors issue

Starting yesterday, my (old) Readynas Ultra 2 started alerting me about temperature and voltage outside spec. For a while, I assumed the thing was about to burn up and raced to get my data off of it. But then it hit me that according to the sensors, the temperature swang wildly between -1C and 55C. Voltages were so far off spec that it would simply not be working at all. And the fan was (intermittently) reported as 0 RPM, when I could still clearly hear it running.

 

So; it seems I have an issue with my hardware sensors. Do any of you all have any suggestions for what I should do? I suppose I could ignore it, but the erratic temperature reading makes the fan go at maximum speed, making a lot of noise.

 

Thanks for any help.

    Are you using OS6 on your Ultra2 device?

      No, i use the newest stock version, whatever that is. 4.2.30, i think.

        Sorry, I just checked and it is Raidiator 4.2.31. I'm a bit hesitant on installing OS6 since it seems a lot of work. Do you think it would do any good?

         

        Otherwise I am thinking of replacing the NAS altogether. I am concerned with the continued reliability of my Ultra since it seems it is breaking down...
