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...
Yes. I have 2 Greens and 4 Reds.
I can try disabling the SYS fan and post results (a long with times) later. It took minutes for things to go down. And it wasn't the CPU that started giving the alarm, it was the SYS going over 65C.
You SYS temperature is nice betwen 42C with the SYS fan running, and 53C with the SYS fan disabled. Mine is 59C with the SYS fan going about 1500 to 1800 RPM. Lower than 1500 RPM the SYS temperature starts to climb rather rapidly. I've seen the my Pro turn on from cold and go up to about 62C in a few minutes, until the SYS fan ramps up and stabilizes the temperature to 59C.
I'm not certain about this, but the CPU fan may not just cool the CPU. It may suck air out of the side vent.
As far as the source of the heat for the SYS temperature, I can only point to the CPU and/or the heat sink below it. That gets hot, and I was thinking it's the CPU's fan work to cool those down.
My CPU is a used $4 E5300. Could get an E6600 used for like $4 and give that a try as well. The two processor specs are not that different from what I've seen though.
