I cleaned the G5 as best as I could, using a vacuum cleaner (both sucking and blowing), but it didn't change the memory controller temp much. I probably should disassemble it and check the logic board backside, but it's too much hassle for me - I'm not that good with hardware. Besides, I'm afraid I could make the LCS leak (this is a Delphi unit, the most likely to have leaking issues). Reading on the Net, lots of people have G5s with the same high temp I have. Maybe the Quad G5 had some improvements about airflow/heatsinks. Apart from disassembling the G5, have you got any suggestion about lowering that controller chip's temp? It's not getting any airflow there (on the inner side of the board), and I think its being so hot has something to do with the "memory error" I just got. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
