Have you heard the G5 DP fans run at full speed? I swear it's moved across the desk several inches when that happens. I think you will care about the noise.
I totally agree, the G5 fans are jet engines. I hit Shutdown and then grab it and hold it down just be be sure it doesn't fly away.
When my G5 was repaired by Apple they forgot to do the thermal calibration, and I had to take it back. It cost me another week without it. Needless to say, I decided this was something that I didn't want to happen again, so I searched out ASD discs. I can't say I ever really necessarily found the correct version of ASD for my Early 2005 G5 because I wasn't ever certain which version was correct? I did boot at least one or two ASD versions, but I never saw any "thermal calibration" software? Also I was somewhat confused about these discs, I think they were dual boot discs, and you needed to hold some key(s) to get it to boot one way or the other? I can't remember if the Option key boot gave you all the choices, but I remember being somewhat unhappy that I couldn't locate said thermal calibration software. If anyone has experience doing a thermal calibration on a G5 could you enlighten us please?
