PowerMac G4 MDD upgrade!

I'm pretty sure that the dual 1.42 runs hotter than the dual 1.0. That is probably why Apple put a different copper heatsink on the 1.42. I'm not positive though.

My stock cooling 1.42ghz overclocked to 1.58ghz runs at 50c most of the time with light load. My point is it's fine running at 60c, it's not going to hurt it.

You're right. Although toward the upper end, 60C is within the range of normal operating temperature. Still, I like mine cooler. The cooler they run, the longer they will last and I'm expecting to get another 9 years out of mine.

CHUD 3.5.2 extinct, link bad

Thundersnake:
The link for CHUD 3.5.2 is bad. Apple no longer offers it. Bad news for all MDD owners running /tiger ((((

60c isn't the upper range, its smack in the middle of the normal temperature. 55-75c is perfectly fine

The link still works in this thread:

Some G4 CPUs are only rated for 65c.
