NMP-1000P 1.2.1 Build0210 Firmware ... fan

[arginine]

Hi, I have updated my NMP 1000p with this new firmware.
My NMP has NO HARD DISK inside .... and the fan does NOT go off

The chip is not at all at 54 °C

am I the only one with this issue ?

best,

Hi,

By design the fan is not supposed to go off.
Since 1.2.1 it slows down but it never goes off.

What ???

sorry but according the post of the firmware:

[Enhancements]
- If there is no internal HDD, then the fan will remain off until the system temperature reaches 54'C

Regarding your answer this statement is false .. and should be phrase like : If there is no internal HDD, then the fan speed will decrease until the system temperature reaches 54'C

Oh, sorry, that was my fault... I think I mixed somethin up.

Your're right, the release notes say that the fan should go off.

I also don't have an internal hdd installed and the fan also doesn't goes off. It only reduces the speed, so that I can't hear it anymore.

don't you think we could simply unplug the fan ?
in my case, I even leave the nmp box open for better air exchange

Well, if you don't worry to lose warranty...

My NMP had a seal and I'm happy that I have not opened it. After a broken flash or some kind of a defect on the mainboard, it was repaired by qnap without costs.
After repair there was a new seal on it, so qnap seems to take this seriously.

I also don't like the fan but at least it is almost not hearable since 1.2.1.
