The heatsink on the right is for a 533MHZ G4 Digital Audio (same chip that's in my clamshell) and the one on the left is the factory heatsink. The factory heatsink doesn't even use thermal paste, its just one of those pads. I used one of those laser temperature measures and it shows the factory...
My iBook G4 Clamshell seemed to be running very hot and during OS installs it would freeze up. I looked online but couldn't find anyone who had actually installed a fan in a clamshell. The built-in heatsink seems to cool the G3 fine, but with a G4 its not cutting it. So I went online and bought...
Typical rule of thumb is that PowerPC Macs cannot boot from a USB. There is a work around but it's dog slow. If you have another PPC Mac, you could connect it via Firewire and clone the hard drive from the working PPC Mac to the eMac.
EDIT: Also noticed you mentioned it has no optical drive...
Firmware is up to date, still waiting on the RAM upgrade to come in the mail. Keep in mind this is the original non firewire model meaning it cannot even run tiger unless the ISO is modified. The machine seems to over heat when doing intensive tasks like an OS install. I am currently working on...
Those are the two most common missing parts :)
Have you tested the CD ROM? That plastic white part usually breaks off with the CD ROM cover which leads me to wonder if the drive actually works.
I wonder if this is just the system reporting incorrectly, but it has done it a couple of times. The first five minutes after boot up the CPU seems to run at 538MHZ and once it warms it its goes down to 532. I would call this thermal bottlenecking, but I don't think the CPU can even do that...
holy moly thats speced out! Look at the RAM, its full!
xs4trade.net sells the key switches for 20 euros each. Just a little bit of money can make this one hell of an ANS!
Shoot! Its a 66MHZ bus. I totally forgot about that(thought it was a 133MHZ bus). A 733MHZ would be a 11x multiplier. at max it could run at 594. so yeah your right realistically it could do 533.
The CPU mx1zzz is using is natively clocked at 500MHZ. Pushing it to 600 shouldn't cause many issues. Albeit 1,000MHz is quite ambitious , something like 733-800 isn't quite out of the picture, a 5.5~ multiplier with some thermal grease on the (non existent :) ) heatsink should run sorta reliable.
