Fan speed up on DP 1.25

[Jaykay]

I just wanted to ask about an interesting item that happens to my 1.25Mhz DP.

When i shut it down sometimes the fan speeds up to an almost unbearable sound level, maybe this has something to do with the machine overheating at certain points but it gets damn annoying..

anybody else have this?

On my Dual Ghz that happens it will go to literally vacuum level for 1 second upon startup. It is normal I have heard many other people talking about it. Don't worry.

i had this happen to on my DP 867 at startup.

what it is, is that the fan manangement part of OS 9/X hasnt cut in yet. Therefore the fan is running at full speed according to the BIOS (yes macs have em). When OS 9/X starts up then it gets the data from the fan control chip and adjusts the fan speed according to what the temperature sensors in the motherboard tell it.

The latest PM G$ firmware update fixes this almost entirely.

I cant tell you now how effective it is as i hav o/clocked my G4 to a DP 1ghz.

Hope it helps

It has never happened on my 1,25 MDD.

But then again I have the Samsung fans:)
