ReadyNas Pro 6 High Temperature
I am running firmware version 6.9.3 on a old ReadyNAS Pro 6. Lately I have noticed that the system temperature is running higher than normal. I have noticed temperatures up to 68C. Hard drives and...

I took a screen shot of the temperature values after the unit had been running for 30 minutes and it was already 62C. See attached.
My pro-6 (running 4.2.x) is showing 57C system temps at the moment, and that is a typical value in a 4.2.x system. Perhaps other folks running OS 6 on their pro-6 or ultra-6 pro some input on their temps. The temp sensors are different on the 2 and 4 bay units (and also ultra 6).
I'm not sure how much to trust that particular reading. How hot is the air being vented from the back? Any signs that the system board is actually hot?
Also, any sign that the chassis fan isn't working properly?
Hi
My Pro6 on OS6 always used to run about 62oC. I'm sure I read somewhere that the sensor is pretty close to something hot, so the readings are somewhat misleading. I had put a Noctua fan in mine as well, after one summer getting temperature warnings at 80oC!!

BTW, I also replaced the chassis fan with a Noctua, but didn't see any change in temperature. It is quieter though.
