Hello Just some more info. On my 7600 , I have two fans I have a fan mounted in the upper bay, identical to the installation described in your referenced URL ( excellent work!), with air direction from the upper compartment into the processor card * My second fan is mounted to the front aluminum plate, inside the cover, directly covering the lower bay, air direction over the drive. I followed the installation instructions delineated in URL below(shown at tail end of article) http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/guest_rev1/ I also have the same Radio Shack temperature sensor that you have, but in my case, I opted *to position the sensor directly next to my Sonnet Crescendo G3 400/1MB card, very close to the processor chips. After 12 hrs of continuous operation, I measure 26.0C with a 22.7C ambient. BTW. metronome measures 27C (very suprized at the accuracy1) My boot up drive, top mounted, is an 1/3h IDE IBM 30GB 7200 rpm Deskstar driven by a Sonnet Tempo ATA 66 IDE card The drive in my lower bay is a SCSI 1/3h Quantum 4GB Fireball 5400 rpm albert * happiness is a cool processor -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
