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 changed the max allowed temp to 82°C to avoid warning (temporarly)

It is running readynas OS 6.10.4

 

Thanks for help

  • 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

            set in1_max 5.3
            label in2 "V3_3"
            compute in2 @*1.649, @/1.649

              set fan2_min 400
              ignore temp1
              label temp2 "System"
              set temp2_min 1
              set temp2_max 82
              ignore temp3
              ignore intrusion0

       

      Should I replace mine with the one you provided and restart readynasd ?

      systemctl status readynasd

        I tried...
        does not complain anymore with hi temperature but it remains weird... basically it is weirder than before. So, I reverted the changeo
