Hello,
During the process of media indexing or thumbnail generation, a significant amount of CPU resources is used, which can cause the device temperature to rise. Currently, you can try adjusting the fan mode to high-speed mode to see if that improves the situation. If the problem persists, I recommend adding a heatsink to the NVMe SSD.
I hope these suggestions are helpful to you!

The fan is set in automatic. So it should work automaticly. If not perahps add a spécial feature in next firmware.
For the heatsink, there is not so much space. Which modèl is 100% sure to fit ?

You can first try adjusting the fan to maximum speed to see if there is any improvement. We will also verify this. As for the cooler model, please try to choose a thinner one.

Appropriate heat sink may depend on the nas model type (which I don't see here). For the 424 I have found a 3mm thick heatsink fits ok without mods to the case. Otherwise you may need to be handy with a Dremel (other brands arre available). 3mm heatsinks can usually be found on Amazon or Ebay (Other suppliers are also available).

You can adjust the fan speed automatically through commands in the task scheduler:
High speed
Code: Select all
sed -i '/\[system\]/,/^\[/{s/^Autofan =.*/Autofan = 0/}' /etc/.default.sys
sed -i '/\[system\]/,/^\[/{s/^Fanspeed =.*/Fanspeed = 8/}' /etc/.default.sys
systemctl restart tnas-smartfan.service
