My PowerMac G5 roars like crazy. I know that this was one of the big issues with it though. Is there anyway to not make it make so much noise?
Hi Jess,
What sort of G5 powermac is it?
try going syspref->Energy Saver->options-> processor performance (reduced or Auto)
should help
the PowerMac G5 had been quieter then the Powermac G4 windtunnels
and my PowerMac G5 2.3 dual is not loud at all , on setting automatic most of the time i cant hear him at all apart from a slight wirrrr noise but far from loud , i had louder pc's in the past , after all its a desktop
so which of the fans is the culprit as thats a indication which part has a problem , install istat menu's 2 to watch temperatures and fan speeds
but a general advice if possible never ever let the room temperature rise above 18 degree celsius (64.5 degree Fahrenheit ), the PowerMac g5's are more of the nordic type and thats where hey feels most comfortable
Flash based sights turns mine into a wind machine.
OT, but how on earth did "Flash" become the norm for video???
unbelievable
is it possible to replace the fans for quieter ones, my g5 roars like crazy to!
