so what do u guys think i got 10 days or so till i can buy any thing

Hello, just to note, that Air-cooled conversion was for the DPs, not the Dual Cores like the Quad, that produce much more heat.
I also think 70 to 75 degrees Celsius is not acceptable.

  • Air Cooled or Liquid Cooled.

    I have been reading a lot on line and I was wondering if My dual core 2.3 G5 has air cooling or Liquid cooling. I have never had to open my case except to add Ram and change hard drives. I have a dead Mother Board and was just wondering. thanks.

    Explain these please...

    Lightning does strike twice. We had another G5 (dual 2.3 GHz, May 2005) acting strange yesterday (Quicktime movie freezing up, cannot shut down/restart via Apple Remote Desktop), so we went to the comm closet to check it (another pampered G5 in a cooled, dust free environment).
    This one's leak is a bit different " slow enough that the coolant has been crystallizing and drying very quickly, over a longer period of time.

    There's been debate on some other models like the "Late 2005" dual-core 2.3GHz - one owner reported a leak here (in Nov. 2007 mail) but three other owners have said their dual-core 2.3 were air-cooled, despite having the 'liquid warning' stencil on the PS. (From the photos one 2.3GHz owner sent, it clearly appeared to be air-cooled, not LCS.)
    "bought my G5 Dual core 2.3ghz with 4GB of RAM powermac Nov 2005 (He originally said Nov. 2004, but the dual-core 2.3GHz was a "late 2005" series) and on the 18th of august 2007 it shut off and stated ticking... I tried to restart which didn't work. So I called mac support. I opened the side panel and noticed liquid on the rear bottom "foot"

    You need to reinstall OS X:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

    iPhone 4S is not charging. Upon connecting to macbook air, it gives the power surge alert. Please help.

    What do you mean by "power surge alert"? What exactly does it say when you try to connect it? If you're talking about the message about a USB device drawing too much power, that can sometimes be caused by a bad cable or something stuck in the port. Do you have another cable you can try?

    Start by doing an SMC reset http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 and see if that resolves it.

  • Case/CPU Temps @ Air cooling

    Yo guys,
    Iam just curious how did you set up your rig ( Only Air cooling ).
    And of cause what temperatures you get ....
    My setup :
    Chieftec midi tower - this is at 3,2 ghz
    2 x silent 80mm fans intake at the backside
    2 x silent 80mm fans outake at the front side
    Zalmann7000cnps aicu
    NB msi stock light fan
    Idle ( windows desktop )
    CPU @ 30c
    MB   @ 30c
    Load ( midnight club 2 or 3dmark)
    CPU @ 50-55c
    MB   @ 39-43c
    I dont like my mainboard temps but probably my cpu fan is blowing all the warm temps directly on the mb sensor.

    Like alot of people in the first couple of years overclocking/modding PCs, I got a little Fan-Happy. I replaced 6 of the 7 case fans in my Thermaltake case w/ 2 80mm Tornados front (attached to PSU fan RPM control), 2 Aerocool High CFM 80mm side, and 2 Coolermaster High RPM 80mm back. Plus the Zalman 7000 AlCu, and a 120mm on the inside of my Hard Drive cage (otherwise air from front tends to get trapped in the drive cage and not provide any flow toward the rear)
    If I trusted the various monitoring sensor apps I'd be very pleased..
    CPU 27-33C @ Idle & never beyond 48-50C at full load (except during a couple of heatwaves we in Northern Cali had a while back)
    Case is usually in the low to mid 20s except on really hot days, at night it can drop to 18C.
    The Thermaltake CPU sensor basically confirmed these temps when I had it attached, but I stll think of them only as a guideline.

  • Air cooling q6600

    So I am looking into overclocking my q6600 from it's stock 2.4 ghz to 3.0 ghz. I was wondering what I should be looking at for cpu cooling. I would prefere to stick with air cooling as I am using an ANTEC 900 Gaming case. Any suggestions (bonus if I can install it without having to remove the motherboard). Thanks

    Time for some new cooling.

    feeewww...guys...this board are  ...have more than enough OC's ability ...MSI made a very good  board with this...
    cheers...
    p.s : still looking the max oc with air cooling...

  • Power mac g5 quad cpu runing hot

    ok my power mac g5 quad the  top cpu core 1 and 2 are runing really hot and ween itryed to turn it on this moring the fans all went to max and shut off i then tryed to trun it on again and it just went 'click' and i unpluged ever thing left it alon and came back about a hour later and tuned it on and ween it got to the main desk top the fans were on max and the top cpu cores were about 155f 165f and the outher cpu was runing fine what could this be a computer guy told me this could be that i need new thermal paste pleassss help

    The thermal paste degrades after 3-5 years of use.
    Whether anyone wants to or not, the thermal paste in ALL G5 machines needs replaced.
    LCS systems, even without leaks, can have reduced performance due to sludge buildup or loss of volume due to evaporation and escape of those liquid vapors.
    Serious consideration should be made towards rebuilding the LCS for longevity of the computer.

    Likely it's rime to replace the thermal paste between the CPUs & the Heatsinks.
    If it's a G5 Quad, it'd be 2.5 GHz though & check for coolant leaks...

  • I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card

    I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card. The serial number on my computer is: RM620603R6W. Apple won't help me because the computer is older than suggested. Please give me the exact video card that will work best for my computer.

    Hi Mike, make sure the card has Mac ROM, or is a PC card with Mac ROMs flashed to it...

  • Video Card Recommendation for Power Mac G5 Quad

    Can anyone recommend a video card upgrade for my Power Mac G5 Quad?
    I am now running the nVIDIA GeForce 6600 card that came in the machine, but I'm wondering how much performance increase I'll see with a large image library in Aperture if I upgrade. I'm interested in all comments.
    Also, is there a "medium" upgrade and a "kick-***" upgrade?
    Thanks!
    G5 Quad / 4.5GB   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I hate to say it: At the moment there is no graphics card upgrade available for the G5 Quad and the other PCI-Express Power Macs. There are a lot of threads about this topic in this forum. It is simply a shame that Apple does not offer any graphics upgrade for their former top of the line machines - but they do offer them for their new Intel Mac Pro. Maybe one day ATI will offer an upgrade, but at the moment this is just a rumor. All you can do now is to buy a reflashed PC version of the GeForce 7800 or buy a ridiculously priced spare part GeForce 7800 from a store who is willing to sell you one (there is one on the web but i forgot the url).
