Hi Thomas, Thanks for your input. I tried to remove the board, removed the heatsink and the one screw that is supposed to hold the mobo down and tried to slide the board out. It wouldn't budge so I left everything in place and only replaced the PSU and the fans, the main fan I have is a very quiet German Papst fan.
I replaced the motherboard on one of my QuickSilvers. I was using the iFixit instructions and when it got to the point of removing the motherboard it would budge either. It turned out that some of the standoffs that hold the processor were screwed through the board into standoffs mounted to the case. Those standoffs were NOT in the instructions. Once I removed those the board slid out easily.
All is working again and the Finder and startup seem a little faster but not much. It looks like the implementation of the second processor is not very good. I'm running the latest Tiger version mostly - if I want to use "heritage" Adobe apps I have to switch back to good ole Panther.
Why? I have the set of Adobe apps that are Carbon and they are still working under Snow Leopard.
