My net6501s (standard case) were running rather hot too, but had no
problems. Then when summer came, they even started throttling the CPU
because of high temperature. I still didn't have any reliability
problems, but it made me nervous.
So I installed the slowest, quietest fan I could find, and added a
manual fan-speed control. Even with the fan speed turned down very low,
I got much less scary temperatures. Currently under 50°. And there is
very little noise, with the fan running slowly. At higher speeds, these
little fans do make an annoying whine.
I am assuming that there is no way to control the fan speed with
software, which would be a much nicer solution. Am I mistaken? Anyone
know?
Cheers,
Lon
