Wish I could edit posts.;-( Stewie From: [email protected] Subject: Mirror Door G4's overheating Date: Sun, 1 Nov 2009 22:06:24 -0500 To: [email protected] I bought my pair of mirror door G4's new and the fans were noisy. People complained about the noise. Apple came out with a firmware update that quieted (Slowed) the fans. Recently my G4's have begun to simply quit. I suspected overheating so I installed Antec Super blowers in the upper PCI slots (This big blower takes up two PCI slots) and this solved the problem. My theory is that Apple's firmware update slowed the fans and predisposed the mirror door G4's to overheating problems, especially after they get older and dustier. Does anyone know if I can go back to the original firmware and get the noisy but more effective fan speeds back?
