i found that by plugging a adc monitor in the radeon 9000 pro, the mdd boot normally and chud work normally too.. would a dead pram battery cause this :?:

i found something else strange. After installing chud tools 3.6.2 on the mac.. i enabled nap mode and the power supply fan rev up in idle and rev down when cpu are in use. Anyone else experienced that ? the temps get lower but the up and down noise is annoying :'(

ok.. well i tried "Apple Hardware Test for MDD G4 1.2.7 " disc.. all passed ok

hello.. i always wanted one of those.. and one year ago i found one. it was working fine.. but every time i closed the computer it did not want to boot up again , i needed to unplug/plug the power cord and then it booted again .. i used it for a while without a problem and still work.. this was...

i redid the thermal paste again hehe.. and the results are strange.. now the temps are all equal during idle.. but now under heavy load it's core 2 on cpu 2 that is 10C warmer.. before it was core 2 on cpu1.. so maybe there is not enough liquid to cool down all the cores.. not sure.. ill leave...

yes.. i did.. it's strange i leaved the computer for a couple of hours off and i decided to try again.. the computer was very quiet and the temperature of each cpu seemed close of each other. i leaved it on for a full day then the next morning i see the 10 celcius difference between cpu again...

i did it.. it was not too hard.. you just need the right tools.. unfortunately it didnt help much.. core 2 on cpu1 is still putting way more heat 10+ celcius.. maybe worse than before hehe.. well i will just use a quieter mac for now i guess..

thanks for showing me your stats.. eventually i will try to reapply thermal compound anyways to see if i can get the temp difference more even ..

i see.. well i guess its getting a bigger problem.. your quad run quieter and cooler.. the flash video was this : http://www.onf.ca/film/L_age_de_la_machine/ i have the one pump version, i think 10 Celsius difference on cpuA core 2 is a bigger problem than i thought.. i tried to calibrate...

flash doesnt get the cpu to reach 70.. i will get in the 60s but it mostly stay in the 50s.. i get 70 fron a fractal benchmark that use 4 cores at 100% ... but still flash video.. will get the fans to speedup at around 2000+ rpms wich is kind of loud compared to my older g5 dp mac... i guess...

i cleaned the inside while looking for leaking fluid.. there is no dust anymore stopping the air i think.. i always set the energy system to automatic.. the system seem to run fine.. no kernel panic it just get loud sometime mostly while watching flash stuff , the old g5 dp didnt do that ...

hello.. recently i found a powermac g5 Quad. i thought it could be a nice computer, well it is to some extend but i found that it's way more noisy than my older g5.. (dual processors 2ghz model) when idle the computer is quiet.. but if i watch flash video in tenfourfox the fans will go up...
