ATI X850 fan noise on Dual G5

Hi All,
I have a dual G5 with the ATI X850 card. The fan has gotten disturbingly loud (I have confirmed that it is that particular fan).
I do have AppleCare, but before I spend a considerable amount of time on the phone, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and how or if AppleCare took care of it.
Thanks in advance,
Alan

EtherDesigner-
You should be able to get Apple to replace that card for you. They do have a way of deciding that too loud for you is not too loud for them. If AppleCare won't help, ask for Customer Service and complain that you are losing productivity blah blah blah.
Generally if you are firm but polite and professional they will take care of it.
Of course, if the card just, um, stopped working they would, um, definitely have to replace it (;>)

ATI 3870 fan noise; Blu-ray movie playback works with 3870.

Is there a better fan/heatsink for 3870? I just replaced my stock 7300GT with 3870 but fan noise is annoying and is louder than my Mac Pro system fans. Thanks.
I just like to share to everybody that 3870 works with Buffalo external USB Blu-ray(tested with Vista). My stock 7300GT will not playback Blu-ray movies because it's not HDCP compliant.

I just removed the fan off my x1900 and it's a joy to listen to now. Dead silent.
Here are some photos of how easy it was. Take off memory heat syncs, take off electric heat syncs, and then the fan off the chip. Wipe it with a tissue. Then take an eraser and rub until all residue is gone. Then just stick and peel the heat syncs where they fit.
The only trick was getting the clips to fit on the board. I had to take off the long metal piece that ran the length of the board so the clips could fit around it.
Anyway hope this helps someone out there.

ATI 2600 Fan Noise

My new Mac Pro is fantastic, and pretty silent, however working away last night, I noticed an occasional irritating whiney woosh coming from an internal fan. On inspection it turned out to be the fan on the Radeon 2600. It spins normally, but every 10-20 secs accelerates sharply, giving a whooshing sound.
The machine has 16GB RAM filling all 8 slots, 4 HDs in the normal bays, and a MaxConnect kit with 2 further HDs in the lower optical drive bay.
I'm wondering whether the machine is running a bit hot because I've maxed it out, but then none of the main fans are speeding up, apart from the Radeon fan it's almost silent.
Any ideas?

I have no idea.
In the past, you could look up "utility" fans for a computer cabinet from the part number sticker on the fan itself. This often gave you a link to industrial fans available ONLY in the handy 1000-pack. If they managed to blurt out the air moved in Cubic Feet per Minute, you could use that to find replacement fans of the same size, prefereably with same of lower sound generated in deci Bells.
Because of custom housings, Graphics card fans may be a specially-built item rather than a standard commodity part, so replacements (if any) may only be available from the manufacturer.

Solution to ati x800 xt related fan noise

i am so happy, that i need to share this with everybody else:
a few weeks ago i decided to upgrade my gpu to tht ati x800 xt. i won't bore you with the fact, that it is a great card, fast and - truely - silent. the problem was that the due to the heat of the card the pci slot fan, just beneath the superdrive, started spinning at over 43% (i am using the hardware monitor tool for measurements http://www.bresink.com/osx/HardwareMonitor.html).
i looked everywhere for a solution to my problem, which i thought was either
a) replacing the pci slot fan
b) replacing the x800 xt fan
c) lowering the speed of the pci slot fan
d) replacing the gpu
it took me a week, until i bumped into the following page:
http://www.barefeats.com/radx800.html
if you read further down you we will notice that some of the tests were done with an overclocked ati x800 xt. greedy as i am, i forgot about the noise and decided to hunt for even more gpu speed. and there i went to http://thomas.perrier.name/software/ATIcceleratorII.html and downloaded the aticcelarator tool. and there it struck me:
as soon as i increased the speed by increasing the card's clock speed, well, the pci slot fan went to 46%. yes, you read me. if you do the exact opposite, you will lower the fan speed.
and here is the solution that works for me:
to reduce pci slot fan noise, underclock the card to
core 475 -> 445 (-5%)
memory 499 -> 472 (-5%)
and since my powermac g5 2.0 ghz has reached a pci slot fan speed of 41%. just slow enough to be under my annoyance level. you will need to play around with the parameters, since (ati clock speed =) ati heat + mac heat + ambient heat will impact the pci slot fan.

Hi Tangier,
did you install the necessary drivers? ATI DISPLAYS 4.5.7.
Works perfectly on both my G5/Dual 2.5 and G5/Dual 2.7. If it still does not work try to reinstall the latest Combo update, presently Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update (PPC)
If this answered your question please consider granting some stars: Why reward points?

ATI fan noise

Hi everyone,
I've just bought I ATI 9800 Pro 256MB Mac Special Edition, and the fan noise is extremely irritating.
I've been to xlr8yourmac.com and have seen a couple articles on replacing the fan with an Arctic Cooling VGA silencer and the Verax G03. Both operations seem a little hairy to me. A visit to the Arctic Cooling web site reveals newer products such as the ATI silencer 1 and 2.
Has anyone had any luck installing these types of products onto an ATI card and what was the result? Also, how difficult was the operation?
Thanks very much,
Christian

Hmm - it's all coming back now.
Verax instructions were not good - but xlr8 covers it pretty well.
Verax recommend using the power available at the optical drive, rather than connecting direct to the socket on the card, like the ATI fan.
Verax, unfortunately, supplied a single, direct Molex-type power connector with the G03, but their excellent support quickly sent the correct Y-connector, as shown on xlr8.
Twisting the ATI fan off the GPU takes guts - but may be made easier by warming the area to soften the thermal paste.
I don't know whether cleaning the old paste off to a mirror-finish is vital, but with nail-varnish remover(all I could find...) and cotton buds it takes a while and needs care to keep it off the surrounding PCB. Final clean with methylated spirits(denatured alcohol) as there are other ingredients in nail-varnish remover.
I used the thermal paste supplied by Verax - but used more than xlr8 suggest, as the GPU heat-sink was lower compared to the surrounding bits than in their photos, and it was the only way to get a good even contact.
Made sure I was grounded/earthed throughout - just in case.
Time taken...? Depends how thorough the cleaning, I suppose.
Not much more than an hour as I recall. Maybe two hours. More time spent reading and re-reading the instructions than actually doing the job!

PowerMac G5 Dual 2.7ghz FAN Noise

Hello,
I'm starting to get tired of the fan noise in my Dual 2.7ghz.
It simply goes up and down........like waves.
It spools up then calms down, I don't know what to do: I reset the PMU, NVRAM, cleaned with compressed air(DUSTER) all the fans, heatsink/radiator on CPU's and still the same annoying noise.
I also installed the latest CHUD but then the spooling of the fans was more frequent so I removed it.
It is sad because, the G5 is quiet besides that but becomes unbearable when the fans kick in.
I browse the net.....the start spooling!!!
At the moment I write this the G5 is quiet but if I'll move to another task they'll start the up and down music
Is there something I missed here...Firmware, etc......
Thank you very much.

Flocarino-
Mine does the same thing. Especially when surfing the web. Best thing to do is set processor speed to highest or lowest in the Energy Saver preference panel. It isn't elegant, but lowest is sufficient for web surfing and keeps the fans from ramping. I guess this is the reason that Apple migrated away from the G5 processor.
You do not indicate how much RAM you have, but increasing it to 2MB will help, 3 or 4MB will help even more.
I tried to mask the noise with iTunes, but the latest version is the worst yet at causing the effect.

ATI Radeon 4770 Fan Noise - Any bright ideas?

Hi,
I've an ATI Radeon 4770 graphics board installed on my Mac Pro (Early 2009, 16 gigs of RAM, OS 10.6.8). The board works fine but the fan is noisy and goes on full tilt from a cold boot. If I restart the Mac Pro then the fan will slow down and stop. This is my current workaround. Other than fan noise problem, everything else is working.
Here's what I've done to troubleshoot so far: Reset the SMC, zapped PRAM several times. Updated OS to 10.6.8 from 10.6.7. Verified HD and disk permissions. Extended Hardware Test has been passed.
Anyone any other bright ideas?
Thanks,
Midi.

Brand new?
Then you should be talking to the Vendor about why the card they sold you does not work correctly.

Mac Pro will not boot, constant loud fan noise and nothing else

hello,
earlier tonight,i put my mac pro on sleep, then later on, when i wanted to take it off sleep and use it, it made the loud fan noise, which it always does but goes away, but this time it the fan wount slow down and the loud noise stays and i dont see anything on the screen. im guessing the fan noise is the ATI x1900 card...
any help please..i just bought it 2 months ago...

Hi, here are the steps I would go through. I would unplug the Mac Pro completely from everything and look at the video card's fan intake to make sure it isn't plugged and just make sure everything "looks" correct. I would then plug the machine back into one monitor/keyboard/mouse (leave all the other peripherals disconnected. Once that is done push the power button. Does anything happen? If not then if you have another mac and an external hard drive, make a copy of the OS on the drive and see if you can get the Mac Pro to boot off that drive. If the video card doesn't work then it will not show anything when booting off an external drive. If the external boot does work then I would suspect that you have a bad hard drive (or it crashed). At that point I hope you have a back up of all your data and such.
Mind you these are steps I would go through. What a nightmare. One other thing to check, make sure your monitor didn't die.

No video, high fan noise on startup, for the THIRD TIME

For the third time in slightly less than three years, I have encountered the same crippling problem with my iBook G4 (1 GHz, June 2004 vintage). In essence, the screen will abruptly go black while in use (not screensaver) and no amount of keyboard/mouse activity will reactivate the display. If I power off by holding down the power button then restart, the screen stays black and the fans come on full speed.
Despite a bit of confusion on the details, this sounds like the problem described on the webpages below. In essence the Danish government has issued a finding that there is a design flaw which allows excessive logic board flexing, which in turn causes logic board failure.
This is, as I said above, the third time I have encountered this failure in less than three years. Worse, they seem to be coming closer together. The first was after about 1.5 years, the second 9 months later, and now seven months after the second repair. Since I didn't get Apple Care, paying for a third repair out of pocket would bring my repair bill up to the cost of a new iBook.
I do not abuse my iBook, and since the second repair I have been very careful with my iBook. Does anyone have any suggestions on getting Apple to acknowlege the problem or who I can appeal to? Apple's website doesn't seem to offer any e-mail tech support options and I'd rather not sit on hold for an age (again) if it can be avoided. While I don't want to abandon my iBook or Apple, I may be forced to if I can't rely on the hardware.
Thanks
Mark

iBook G4 1GHz (early 2004) Mac OS X (10.3.9) blank screen, high fan noise on start

Well it doesn't sound like the Danish power problem since it will start up.
The ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 4x AGP graphics processor chips in these iBooks have been problematic. Usually it's the reball problem and it can be reballed for ~ $78. I've done 4 this year and they work just great. A cheap way to get nice laptops. If they respond to the "shim fix" then reballing will work.
A more troubling problem is with the 9200 chip itself. My reballer says that this chip is in itself the cause of some of these problems. He knows it since it's also used in IBMs, Compaqs and many other laptops and he's seen a lot of failures. My only failed reball was a 9200. I have a line on a replacement board or finding the chip in a broken PC.

Loud fan noise on mountain lion, Mac Pro early 2008

Hi there,
I've recently installed mountain lion 10.8.5 lon my Mac Pro , early 2008, 2,8 GHz, 24 gb ram, 2x ATI Radeon 2800 XT.
To give it a clean shot i clean installed it on a sep. Partition, no upgrade from my previous Snow Leopard.
The Machine usually works quiet, i've measured via Isat Menu:
exhaust fan: 681 rpm
HD/expansion: 1100 rpm
After running Mointain Lion, latest update version, i get a much louder fan noise than in snow leopard:
exhaust fan: 845-950 rpm
HD/expansion: 1500 - 1800 rpm
The activity monitor shows no significant CPU usage, only the kernal has over 90 threads constantly running.
I've heard that this is a known issue but it's never been resolved. SMC and PRAM reset did not work at all.
when i go back to snow leopard everything gets back to normal. Yosemite is even harder on fan noise than mountain lion
so i've rolled back to mountain lion.
Any idea ?

no one here with the same problem on an early 2008 Mac Pro ?

Short burst of fan noises after sleep?

Does anyone else experience this and is it normal?
I have a brand new Dual 3GHz Mac Pro. When I wake it from sleep (after a few seconds or a few hours, makes no difference), there is a sudden short (about 1 to 2 seconds) burst of fan noise, kind of like a short rev, then when monitor kicks in computer goes to almost silent again, part from a slight hum.
Does this sound normal, can Mac Pro users quickly sleep and then unsleep your computer and tell me if you expreience this?

The fans are controlled by routines in the operating system that monitor all the temperature sensors. These routines also send periodic signals to the control circuitry saying everything is under control. In the absence of these periodic signals (e.g. the temperature routines aren't running yet because the boot procedure isn't complete, or the system has frozen), the circuitry switches all the fans to full speed, to be on the safe side, and prevent overheating. This will happen when power it turned on, or the system has just woken up. It may also happen when running hardware tests, when certain parts must be tested at full speed without interruption.

Do MacPRo mid 2010 models run with level fan noises or uneven whine?

Apple is replacing my mid-2010 mainly because of a disturbing modulating, up and down, fan noise problem. Not sure of the source. At first thought it was 5870 graphic card, but haven't been able to nail down exactly why.
They claim that these machines run with a very even level noise, and that this breathing or modulating noise is not the norm.
I have read that these machines, relative to earlier models, are quiet hummers, at least relatively.. Do most people with this year's model have machines running at a constant noise level or do the fan noises, even at idle, modulate and whine up and down, even with light usage...or on idle. I don't want a replaced machine with the same issue. I do work in a quiet environment, and don't mind the fan noise, but the modulations of up and down sound like a tunnel and I need to turn off the computer at times. Model is 3.2 ghz quad core, with ati 5870 graphic card.
thanks

I am very much interested in comparison here too. Unfortunately our local reseller doesn't have any Mac pros to compare (they deliver only when you make an order:(). So I have no other machines to compare...
So I've read a lot of forums and generally there's no simple answer anywhere. People say that their hdd/optical is making more noise than fans. That's true to my case. Hdd/optical indeed sound louder than fans. From the other hand, I work in very quiet environment (no street noise, no ventilation noises in the room or whatever) and my new Mac Pro sounds... well loud! Once again - relatively it is QUIET, I can hear older PC from the other room (and the 'other room' connects through a corridor so...). Still, a lot of people mention that they literally don't hear ANYTHING from their mac pros except for hdd/optical operation sounds. I do hear fan noise...
So i was wondering is my room too quiet/ear too sharp;) or is there some kind of a problem with the mac pro and I should bother contacting retailers?
Anybody here who can compare their mac pro's with say mac book pros? I clearly hear fans of my mac book pro (even being idle) in the main working room and mac pro is like 2-3 (may be 4) times louder than mac book pro. This might be OK for tower, but definitely it is not 'dead silent'...
So far I've even tried some iPhone decibel measurement apps (yeah it's not even close to 'pro' measurements but no other means are available to me at the moment). They doesn't notice mac book (most noise measurement devices as far as I've read don't count noises beneath 40 dB for good), but mac pro is about 42-43 dB while idle at some 10 inch from the machine and some 45-46 if I bring the mic like 3-4 inches to the case. Is it like OK or what? Unfortunately all Mac pros I've heard before where in environments where even my 42-46 dB would be completely lost, so i cannot judge if it is OK. It is still one of the quietest towers I've heard/owned but those posts about 'dead silent' and 'only hdd/optical' make me a bit uncomfortable...
Oh, and the modulation. Indeed idle operation has some modulation. As far as I can tell it comes not from varying speed of the fans but rather from how frequencies of the fans inside of the case are different and modulate when added to each other (like those FM/AM in the synthesizers). More to say, there are angles in a room where other frequencies are heard (probably reflections produce some additional modulations)...

T410 Fan Noise

Does anyone know a way to reduce the fan noise? The fan is constantly running and compare to the T400, it's not quieter nor cooler. I hope Lenovo fix this issue soon through Power Manager.

What we are trying to determine is if the fan is being run at an unusally high speed (a glitch in the bios or possibly a heat sensor) or if the fan is just making an unusally loud sound. If the fan is making an unusually loud sound then it would need to be replaced. Most likely there is just an issue with the bios tables for fan control which are making it run at a higher speed then normal.. that being said, my T500 has a very quiet fan even when run at 100%.

Fan noise when screensaver starts

Hi
I've been reading about this issue but don't find any post that relates fan noise with screensaver.
I had fan noise problems similar to some posted... things got better,but now it only becomes unbearable when the screensaver starts.
Any ideas ?

I'm experiencing the same issue since I've replaced the standard Nvidea for an Ati Radeon HD3870 video-card. When the screensaver starts the noise of the fans increases. Don't understand it since it's just the solid colors effect.. :-s
