I chose to install the EnableFanMinRPMOverride addon instead of the Enhance_NV_Thermal_Characteristics_1.1.bin. Now that I have heard the fan running at new minimum, 2100, I don't think the noise is intolerable. My question is can I load the Enhance_NV_Thermal_Characteristics_1.1.bin addon also? Are these two addons compatible with each other? Is there any way to take the addons out?
Another question that I have is about this thermal fix. As long as the fan runs at the minimum I can see where either of these will solve the problem. However, setting the minimum will not make the NAS run cooler if it is at elevated temperatures. It seems to me that the fan ramp up would need to be increased at temperatures higher than the minimum also. Is this what the Enhance_NV_Thermal_Characteristics_1.1.bin change does?
I have had my ReadyNAS NV+ for about three months now. I have been very satisfied with the product. This temperature item is relatively minor. Thank you for addressing it as you have done. I would like to see fans that meet the cooling specs added to a fan compatibility list.
