Why should we feel foolish?
because everyone except john musbach assumed i was an idiot who needed
to be told how "annoying" the fans are. everyone else could have just
given me enough credit to simply believe me when i said the noise
didn't matter, WITHOUT my having to post my life story!
As to the rest of your comments, well hell, had you said all of that
IN THE FIRST PLACE, the answers you got would have been more
appropriate.
with or without my life story included, the ONLY appropriate responses
would have been to simply answer the question(s) with any factual
information that you might have, instead of turning this thread (like
most others) into a string of irrelevant and useless babble that
serious readers have to wade thru to get to the tidbits of actual
fact. and judging from ricardo's reply to my last post, i am not the
only one getting bored with all the inane chatter.

Excuse me, I did not think you were an idiot and NOWHERE did I say that.
I made a **JOKE** about the G5 fans and my cat. Here are the facts
spelled out.
1. It doesn't matter about your hearing loss or not. If you do not do
the thermal calibration, you will be running the fans at full tilt. This
will cause issues over time such as premature fan breakdown and
increased dust buildup inside the system due to it picking up other
stuff that it should not and normally would not pick up. ESPECIALLY if
you keep this on the floor.
2. This will cause an increased load on the power supply which could
possibly make the power supply last a shorter period of time, this
depends on the current state of the power supply.
3. Increased vibration due to the fans running in jet engine mode which
can cause other problems inside the system with connections that other
components make to the board. Yes, these include the connections to the
CPU, so over time, tho unlikely, it is possible all of this could cause
the failure of your system until you re-seat components.
4. Increased power usage in #2 will increase your power bill. Maybe not
by much, but this day in age, every cent helps.
There, a few things for you. I will refrain from making any further
jokes since some people seem to get upset over something that was meant
for grins and not as a means to berate you or upset you. This list is
for informational purposes, yes, but I also like to think that everyone
here is a friend and also part of a family, the Macintosh family. I
apologize if my joke upset you, that was not what it was intended to do,
however I do joke around with friends and with family.
