Easy fix fan/temp OS6 issues on x86 legacy #no support
>> EDIT - 2014-04-12 << Before to hack your system, update first to 6.1.7. Built-in fancontrol support is there! 6.1.7 has been released: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=76000 ...

So now that I have the temperature graph working (kind of), the next step is to work out a few details. So this is what the top of my Performance GUI looks like:

and this is what the temperature graph looks like now:

So my questions are:
1.) As you can see from the upper screenshot, both fans indicate 5355 RPM's in spite of running through the "pwmconfig" instructions detailed previously in this thread. Can I assume that by running OS6 on legacy hardware that those numbers will never represent actual fan speeds?
2.) Based on what I saw during the pwmconfig process, is it safe to assume that the Ultra 4 has no CPU fan at all?
3.) Likewise, are the three graphical thermometers and their corresponding values also just static images and text? I ask because i have NEVER seen any of them change to any other value than what you see above.
4.) If number 3 above is true, why do you suppose that the CPU value is 5 degrees (F) higher than the other two?
