ReadyNas Pro 6 - upgraded fans sound like jet engine
Running OS 6.7.5 took the plunge and upgraded like williams_nest: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/CPU-and-Fan-upgrades/td-p/948507 and walshlink: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/RNP-6-w-Xeon-CPU-and-upgraded-fans/td-p/1022747 and others Previous config E5800 CPU Stock Comdell Crown AGE08015B12V CPU fan Stock Comdell Crown AGE12025B12M System fan Previous idle CPU 1757 RPM, 51C (124F) System 1081 RPM, 56C (133F) Disks 37-39C (96-102F) Upgraded the CPU, cleaned out the filthy dusty heat sink, replaced thermal paste with Arctic Silver 5 Current config X3230 CPU Noctua NF-R8 Redux-1800 PWM CPU fan Noctua NF-F12 Industrial iPPC 3000 PWM System fan Current idle CPU 620 RPM, 35C (95F) System 2636 RPM, 38C (100F) Disks 27-28C (80-82F) Impressive cooling ability-- my only disappointment is this thing sounds like a jet airplane taking off... even in "Quiet" mode and idling. Any advice to safely quiet without affecting cooling ability? Going back to stock fans is not an option.2.7KViews0likes2Comments
Power supply switch set to On when RN526X off for extended period?
Is it safe to leave the power supply switch set to the On position on the ReadyNAS 526X when the system is powered off? After not using my 526X for over a month (it was powered off, but the power supply switch was on), I noticed that the case exterior was warm to the touch. According to the Product Data Sheet, the 200W power supply when the system is powered off consumes only 417mW of power. Should I be concerned about internal heat generated from the power supply possibly shortening the life of the hard drives or other internal components under these circumstances?3.4KViews0likes7Comments
