OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!
Update: It is now unofficially possible using NTGR images to update legacy hardware to os6.X See Post #3, for directions to install 6.2.1 on x86 Ultra and Pro Models. (ARM NOT SUPPORTED by this OS) ...
mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.
Phew - Finally got through all 55 pages of this thread! :)
I've recently upgraded my Ultra4 to the 6.1.4 firmware following the procedure in this thread. I've not made any other alterations (aside from changing the volume from RAID5 to RAID10) or installed any extra packages as yet.
I've noticed that my fan speed and temperature's seem a little... off. I have to admit, I didn't pay any attention to these in the 4.x firmware, so have no clue what they should be; but I was hoping another Ultra4 user might be able to tell me if these seem normal for the 6.1.4 firmware.

I've not installed sensors or fancontrol (as per the 'quick fix' thread) as yet - I wanted to see if the latest firmware would iron out any of the fan/temp issues with the legacy boxes before going down the custom solution route.
Can anyone please confirm whether the fan speed and temp's are off for me? The fan speed seems too low to me, and the CPU temp about 15 degrees too high for a system that is totally idle (i've not even set up any shares as yet).
I was hoping to avoid installing custom packages to fix things like this (since i'd prefer not to have to do this each time I upgrade firmware...) but am happy to do so if it's going to provide a stable and happy NAS :)
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers.
