Oh dear. I've never felt this dumb before. Both fans were installed the wrong way. At least I was consistent. Now I feel the warm air coming out the case, and no longer feel the air coming out of the CPU holes (as there is no air coming out). CPU temperature dropped a lot, but SYS temp is still close to the 65 C limit, but anyway within the bounds.
SYS temp was 70 C at 1200 RPM. Now 62 C at 1200 RPM.
CPU temp was 50 C at 900 RPM. Now 30 C at 800 RPM.
Disks are at 36 C, about 8 C lower than before. The ambient temperature is a bit high, 26 C near the NAS box.Note that I replaced one failing disk and resyncing is in progress. I guess that could have an effect on the temperature, too. Thanks again!
