Hello there friends! i just registered as a member but I've been lurking around this forum for a long time . Six years ago i found a nice g5 quad , or so i thought at the time , and by the time it was delivered it was a mess due to poor packaging and handling . The cooling system was failing ,with every boot the fans would rev up to max in a matter of minutes and sometimes it would totally freeze . The mac ended up in storage up till a few weeks ago . I found a bargain price air cooler with a dual core 2.0 cpu and i thought i would give it a try . removed the old cpus+liquid cooler . Installed the new cooler . The mac came back to life! . Run the asd 2.6.3 tests and it passed every test , i actually run it 3 times , all tests, no failures indicated there . I repasted the cpu with some mx-4 and did a thermal calibration . The result is a very low noise and quite cool i think powermac g5 , with the fans almost always at idle speeds .
My first question is , since this was a quad , about the annoying red led light.Its the sixth red led i think , that indicates that the cpu B is not installed/ properly installed etc . Is there a way to turn it off? can i somehow tell my mac that i don't intend in the near future at least to install a second cpu card and that it should just turn the red light off?
