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...
Yup. When I installed the Noctua fan Disk 1 shut down and started getting e-mail notifications that SYS temperature was above normal a few minutes after installation.
Shut down the NAS, put back the old SYS fan, and things went back to where they were before.
There is definitively good air flow through the disk drives, but for some reason the heat sink below the CPU gets relatively hot. Based on what've seen, w/o the 120mm fan things wouldn't work.
The fans are definitively pulling in (CPU & Power) and pushing out (SYS) air. If anything the CPU fan seems a bit slow relative to the reading (1500 - 1700 RPM). So maybe it's the CPU fan. Could also be that somehow the new power supply cable extender is interferring with air flow. That's why I'm waiting for my crimp tool to remove the extender connector and crimp the cables. Perhaps while there is good HDD airflow, there is not enough airflow through the motherboard components. This would make sense since removing the side cover brings the temperature (and the fans) down.
I did reapply thermal paste to both the CPU and the components at the other heat sink below the CPU. Made not much difference. Waiting on the E5300 and the cable crimp. And may give this other cpu fan a shot:
