Hi Bondisdead,
It sounds like something has gone seriously wrong with your ReadyNAS. If I understand the modification correctly the fan should, after modification, be taking ambient air from the behind the ReadyNAS and blowing it into the case. The bulk of the air should be leaving via the front door.
When the fan is in the blow air in mode (as opposed to the extract warm air out mode) you should also consider removing the air filter fitted to the front door to minimise air flow restriction leaving the ReadyNAS cabinet.
If you make these hardware changes you do not need to reset the minimum fan speed to 2100 RPM.
I suggest you check the modifications, ensure that there are no air flow blockages / restrictions. Also check that no cables are jammed, pinched or in the way of the fan blades.
Let us know how you get on.
Regards,
Ian.
