readynas ultra6 fan speed
Hello, Got a readynas Ultra 6000, the system temprature is pretty high (81~82°C) and fan speed is low even when setting the speed to "Cool" 712rpm How can I increase the fan speed ? I chan...

Is this NAS new to you or newly upgraded to OS6? Do you know the fan and temperature reporting were working properly under OS 4.2.x?
I have now retired all my desktop units, but I did run an Ultra6 with OS6 and had no such problem. But I never got to OS 6.10.x, so maybe somebody who has an Ultra6 actively running that can let you know if the problem is common and maybe related to an update.
Looking at your system and CPU temperatures, one seems wrong. Either the CPU temp is lower than actual, or the system temp is higher. And my experience is that the ReadyNAS fan control really only looks at the CPU temp, and it's going to see yours as fine. Does the temperature of the air coming out seem right for that reported system temperature? If you turn it off and let it cool to room temp, do the temperatures look reasonable at the beginning?
If you're comfortable with SSH, can you check the response to cat /etc/sensors.d/system.conf? Maybe something is just messed up with what the system is monitoring. It should look like this:
chip "coretemp-isa-0000"
label temp2 "CPU"
compute temp2 @%35, @%35
ignore temp3
chip "it8721-isa-*"
ignore in0
label in0 "V+12"
compute in0 @*4, @/4
set in0_min 10.8
set in0_max 13.2
label in1 "V5_0"

thanks for replying !
My configuration file looks like this :

I tried...
does not complain anymore with hi temperature but it remains weird... basically it is weirder than before. So, I reverted the changeo- SandsharkFeb 14, 2021Sensei
Actually changing it wasn't what I had in mind as the first step, but it is interesting that yours isn't the same as the one in V6.9.6, which is where I got the one I posted. I was maining interested in checking that the temperature is being calculated right. So, what about the questions I asked? And in what way did the NAS behave "weird" when you swapped fan2 and fan3?
