Hi Bruce, Thanks. I know, this is the 4th PSU that's going South. I pulled my second monitor, the 17-inch Apple display and the fans are running faster and keep steady.
I hope to get some more years out of this one. All the other PSUs that died before were Samsung, this one seems a bit louder but apparently also stronger. I'm using all PCI slots and have 4 HDs installed. BTW which would be your favorite (most reliable) G5? I would like to get one eventually. Could I keep using my HDs, cards and RAM? Best regards, Jörg. 2017-10-09 16:54 GMT+02:00 Bruce Johnson <[email protected]>: > > > On Oct 8, 2017, at 7:31 AM, Jörg Duurkoop <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > I just posted my problem on MacRumors.
