AS5202T Nimbustor 2 issue with hd temps and/or noisy fan
Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2020 3:50 am
Hi,
I have both the AS5202T and an older Synology DS218 Play. In both devices I use currently WD while wd100EFAZ disks (10TB). While the Synology eaily keeps the temperatrure at 38 degrees I need to run the fan in AS5202T at least with medium speed to avoid HD temps of over 50 degrees /the DS218 Play has a bigger fan and also a better air flow design as in Asustor half of the fan is blocked by the connector board for the hard disks). The fan gets quite noisy if it runs on speed higher than with low setting. Since there are not many good 70mm fans available (at least I did not find them yet) with 4 pin connector I was wondering if I could cuse such a 70mm to 120mm fan adapter at the back side of the case to be able to install 120mm silent wings fan for example which should provide a much higher air flow on low noise level. Does someone have experience with this or do I have the only noisy fan in that 5202t unit? Also I was wondering where I can get the pin layout for the fan connector as it seems not to be a standard 4 pin PWM connector. Does someone have this information available?
Or are the any other suggestions on how to reduce the hd heat in the AS5202T? I have to admit that at current the room temperature in my office where both devices are located is approx 27 degrees during day time which might lead to those higher hd temps.
Thanks,
Mika
