Got around to putting in a spare power supply and it fired right up! It’s turned out to be a pretty solid machine.

I’m not sure if I’m gonna try and put it in my cube or another system, but it will not be forgeten, where ever it ends up it will be used and appreciated.

I have some loose CPUs floating around here 7447a I think, but that has crossed my mind indeed!

I just checked my other 2 GHz chip which is a NewerTech on a black card, it’s a 7448 and has 1600 on the die so I guess all the 2GHz chips are clocked…..interesting.

The heat synch has a cooling bar thermal pasted to the main block. I’m laughing that it looks like powerlogix kinda bogded these CPUs together! Lol!

Well, that card is a 7447a 1700pc chip. So it looks like an overclocked 1.7 GHz if my eyes and logic are correct. Its got a very small jumper block and looks like it was kapton taped at the factory. The previous owner said he bought a 2 GHz powerlogix……so thats the card as promised. Am I wrong...

There is just a usb card inside and the standard graphics card. 32 gb vram.

I have not pulled it out yet to clean and repaste but I’ll let you know after I start cleaning up the thing. I didn’t look at the cache when I booted it just a quick boot check and shutdown.

Will do I was gonna take it apart clean and rethermal paste the thing. It’s a precious little gem that deserves to keep running.

Well I just bought a quicksilver locally with 15 inch apple lcd, speakers, keyboard, mouse, the works. I opened it up and noticed the red CPU card and heat synch so I was getting excited….after checking the board it all looked good so I fired it up and the g4 turns out to be a powerlogix 2 GHz...

I’ll give it a shot and let you know. I also have the 2 short and one long lights so I automaticity went for the inverter, caps look ok, etc. if the upper CCFL is ok, then the logic board or cabling has to be the issue. Interesting puzzle. I have another good 17 inch so I suppose I could swap...

Interesting, I’d be happy to beta test any production candidates and work on a case for the thing……

I have the same issue with my 17 inch studio. I actually got the inverter from DV Warehouse and after the swap I have the darkness at the top so no change with a new inverter. I have not flipped the connector yet to see if the CCFL is shot yet but I guess I’ll try that next.

Yeah I got a dual 1.25 card for my agp Mac from him. It’s love the custom work hehe
