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 ...

It's quite a while since the previous post in the thread and things do change.
The fan speeds are set correctly on current OS6 firmware for all legacy x86 NAS. No need to do any hacks.
However do note that our support team supports running 4.2.x firmware on our legacy x86 products. If you do run OS6 on your legacy x86 NAS you can ask questions on the forums.
Synology also does not support upgrades to their latest OS series for legacy hardware that their users have pointed out is perfectly capable of running it.

and all:
I have my fan running at 888-900 and cpu temp 37C/99F & system 68C/154F...
Is there a way to increase the rpms so i get a bit of better cooling?
Or should i not be concerned about the temp levels? System has gone up to 72 and cpu have also been climbing.
In frontview only 1 fan is showing. Is that ok?
regards
Hans
