Hey all, I finally got my build put together and have been running some tests with Ultimate Boot CD to make sure the hardware is in good shape before installing FreeNAS.
Everything checks out except when I run the CPU stress tests my cpu is getting HOT! Like 90C +...and that is even with the case completely open.
I’m using fractal design node 304 case, 6 WD red drives, and based on people’s recommendation i added a fan (Noctua Fan) on top of the heat sink for extra cooling but I’m still running into issues.
I’ve tried flipping the cpu fan around so it’s pulling hot air away from CPU but that didn’t seem to help much. I’ve also had the case fans going on high
You have any thoughts? Any help you guys could offer would be really appreciated!!
