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...
LOL! I opened mine. Had to since it needed a power supply change.
Yes, it was pretty dirty. But now it's relatively clean. I just gave it another pass and this time I upgraded the BIOS to the latest (for 4.2.27). We'll see what it does. Might be able to upgrade the CPU with a used E7600 too.
As far as fans. Yes, the only one that pushes air out is the 120mm big fan. The CPU and PSU fans push air towards the CPU and towards the insight of the supply. The mesh is unobstructed and can feel the air being pulled through it.
Right away the temperatures raised:

It may also be thermal paste somehow. I did remove the CPU fan at some point to clean it up. Will check if adding more of that helps.
