Readynas Pro heat issues

I still feel there is something wrong. I will try at the weekend, I am confident those HDD's won't overheat in MINUTES!
Have you got anything running on the NAS which is heavily using the CPU? Can you SSH into the unit and see what the CPU is doing? The CPU hot air is ending on the heat-sink you mentioned, maybe it's just the CPU running at 100% all the time? But it would be hotter than 35 degrees...
And - I am asking again! - what is your ambient temperature???
I wouldn't spend too much time with that unit, I feel there is something basic we are missing here.
When I got the NAS and I replaced CPU and RAM, to test the unit I stuck a plastic cable tie in the CPU fan. Left the CPU to run till 80 degrees. It was happening quickly, but with the fan completely stuck. I cannot believe that your unit is overheating when using the wrong SYS fan to be honest.
