OK, I put the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 back into the ReadyNas Ultra 6 Plus.
I tried to get as many screenshots as I could.
This is BEFORE I did any CPU load test:


The temp was harder since the SYSTEM temp was reading at about 90 degrees, but there was no temp for CPU. Again, the fan was dead.
This is DURING the CPU load test:

Again, during the CPU load test. the SYSTEM temp never went above 130 degrees.
Finally, after about 10 minutes I killed the CPU load test, waited about 5 mins and this is what I got:


Note that this is all with the sock fans. Unfortunately, I don't know how to check the temp in the CLI via SSH. Anyone care to enlighten me...
By the way, I did notice all the fans were running on the NAS. They seemed to be running at full speed. I decided to check with my iPhone app what the noise level was and it was averaging at 85 dB!!! Way to loud for me!
