September 12, 20178 yr I have pushbullet configured to notify me of notifications. It seems lately I've been receiving numerous notifications that some of my drives are hot. Currently, my 6tb parity is 45C, 2tb array drive is 48c and another 2tb is 45c. I could change the range of what unraid considers hot, but I'm wondering if there's something I've misconfigured or if there are other alternatives.

September 12, 20178 yr Author I'll look into getting another fan to put in front. My case is the Fractal Design R5 and I've been leaving the front door open but didn't seem to make a difference. The PC is running 24/7 but has been for over a year now and all of a sudden started running hot. I wanted to put space between each drive in the cage but the power cables wouldn't reach.

Dirt (Dust) in the case/fans/filters... blow it out! Edited September 12, 20178 yr by Zonediver
September 17, 20178 yr Author Fans are still working but I added two more, specifically in the front. Dust filters were clean too. As I'm typing this, temps for HDD returned to normal. Went from 47C to 36C. Amazing. I'll keep on eye on this for sure. If anyone is interested, I added two of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CP6QLY6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Look, if they are in quiet mode, off or on the wrong connector (non-PWM) - check your BIOS-Settings. Edited September 18, 20178 yr by Zonediver
