Readynas Pro heat issues
Hopefully this is the right place to post this. I've had my Readynas Pro for about 7 years. Recently the power supply fan started to make funny noises and temperature was kind of high. Scheduled power...
Forgot to mention that I replaced my CPU some time ago and applied new paste.
Your CPU and SYS temp did not change, and - at least on my Pro - the fan speed does not change if the HDD's are not beyond 42 degrees. Does your fan spin down immediately after you remove the cover? I do not understand how removing the top panel can improve airflow. It will improve the airflow around the heathsink you mentioned but not around HDD and I do not understand how the HDD's can get cooler with the top removed.
Are you 100% sure everything in your RN is dust free, including holes on the back of the HDDs and the mesh in front of the unit? Can you feel a very low airflow coming out of the unit when the top is mounted? Sorry for asking what are probably silly questions! :)
Changing the thermal past may help but what I am thinking is that if the paste wasn't working you wouldn't have a very hot heathsink. You would have a very high temperature reported somewhere and the heathsink wouldn't be so hot. I'll see if I can check on mine, it's high time for a clean anyway! :)
