Running a B&W G3 with a G3 900 Powerlogix Zif, two 120 Maxtor drives, one 40 GB Hitachi Deskstar. I notice that the exterior of my box is pretty warm (noticeably warm to the touch and not nearly as warm as my wife's G4 1.25). I had one of my Maxtor drives give me a hassle the other day (I back up to it and my Mac kept freezing using both Psync and CCC). In the past I had no trouble at all. Thought it might be a hardware issue with the drive, but now it's doing OK. I had to boot to OS 9 and copy my home dir over manually. I'm beginning to think it was heat related. Both internal fans are working normally. I also have the newest version of both pieces of software and am running 10.3.3.
First, is there a s/w tool for reading processor temp? Second, an easy way to measure case temp from inside? What is the "norm" or the temp ranges that the innards can live with?
Thanks,
Glenn
