power mac g5 has loud fan action

[lily20]

dear forum,

the problem with this g5 is the "darn" fans. they are revving up and spinning at crazy speeds constantly.

is there anything to fix this? we've sprayed it with air to clean, remounted the ram and the video card, cleaned the connections for the fans, remounted the 2 fans (especially the main offending fan) and looked for software fixes.

also we reset the pmu and smu.

heeeellllp

act of God

so it seems to be fixed... we cleaned it out and vacuumed it and it was still super loud, and then it went to sleep and was STILL super loud, and for some inexplicable reason when it came out of slumber it STOPPED making stupid sounds. we rebooted and no stupid fan sound.

result = NO EXPLANATION. (Divine intervention!)

Thank God.

PCI-express G5 does not throttle as much. If you use your own programs, avoid classic events. Use carbon events instead.
