Re: Strange fan issue with G5 + Leopard
I have an occasional problem similar to those mentioned above. My G52 2.3 GHz Dual Processor (early 2003 if I remember correctly) fan speeds sometimes make no sense at all. The ambient temperature is generally at around 70 degrees F. or a degree or two cooler in the winter (as now). I can be browsing the web, moving local files around, building C code, etc., and the fans generally run at a pretty low speed. Now and then, though,--sometimes when the system is just idling along--the fan speeds increase dramatically. Sometimes the system even *hangs up*, with the fans running at full speed, and I have to hit the power button. This does not happen often but it sure bugs me when it does. What happens if I leave my machine running while I'm away from home, and the fans go to full speed for several days? Do the fans bur out? Would the system overheat? Who knows? So I just never leave the system fully up when I'm away. (I leave it in Sleep mode so that the fans don't run at all.) -- 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.

Automatically going to sleep was disabled. When I came back, fans were at 100%. But, on top of that, Mac OS X 10.5.8 had crashed with the famous shut down your computer hitting the power button graphics on the screen. Never happened again. I don't know what went wrong… I doubt thou that fans at 100% would do any harm, even for days. The processor and other components will just be cooler, the noise greater, and the fans will be worn out faster. But I agree this isn't something you generally want for a temperature management. BTW, which version of Mac OS X are you using? In any case, the fans behave strangely while working and it is, if nothing else, often just annoying when it happens.

Okay, I used iStat Menus 2.0 which was still DonationWare, so it was basically free of charge unless you wanted to pay. There seems to be a bug there with the drive bay sensor or iStat Menus reading it because is constantly shows 1000°C. It basically operates at: CPU A: 51 to 63°C CPU A Amb: around 47 to 50°C CPU B: around 53°C CPU B Amb: around 45°C U3 Headsink: 57°C almost constantly CPU fans: at the beginning at 300rpm, after some time at around 300-1200rpm (CPU fans are: CPU A Intake, CPU A Exhaust, CPU B Intake, CPU B Exhaust) Slots always stays at 73rpm. When the rpm goes up and down again slowly, it went streigt from 300rpm to almost 3000rpm (which is load!). Later the rpm was at 300rpm, say around 600rpm, but also at 1200rpm for some time. Still, it started to slowly go to just before 3000rpm, then slowly go down to 1000 again. The CPU A temperature did go down, yes, but there is no pattern: it started at a CPU A temperature of 55°C as well as with 62°C. But why? This is some kind of odd behaviour to me. I have to check with 10.4 yet to see what goes on there. Any thoughts?

Strange fan issue with G5 + Leopard
Hello! I've a strange issue when I use my Power Mac G5 (original PowerMac7,2 from 2003, Dual 2.0 GHz): http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g5/stats/powermac_g5_2.0_dp.html When I use Mac OS X 10.3.9 on it, everything is fine. When I use Mac OS X 10.4.11 on it, just like with Panther. But, when I use Mac OS X 10.5.8, the fans will just start to slowly increase rpm so that they make a lot of nose (but not the max. rpm, just a higher one), then go down to normal. This just happend after approx. 30 minutes after switching it on and working on it. It was already heated up as it was running on 10.4.11 before. It would continue to do the fan rpm increase/decrease every 3-5 minutes or so. I was doing some installation of verious applications, so the processor must have done a lot of work, but not constantly at 100% like with a benchmark application. I've had this before, but with an older firmware. This behavior was gone – so I thought – with the firmware update, but I was only using 10.3.9 after the update… until now. So, how is it with a G5 and Leopard? Are there any known issues that I just didn't find yet? Are you using your G5 Power Macs with Tiger or with Leopard? Might the issue be fixed if I clean out the dust, which I presume must be there after all these years (I didn't look too deep into it yet)?

-- Original message -- Subject: Re: Strange fan issue with G5 + Leopard Date:Thursday, 01. December 2011 From:David W. Morris bbh...@gmail.com To: g3-5-list@googlegroups.com It does not sound like strange behavior to me that a later OS release might use more resources and generate more heat, so the fans would kick on occasionally. It is just normal operation. Did you expect your fans to never speed up while using your G5? The usage does not have to be at 100% of CPU load to get the fans to speed up. No, I didn't expect anything. I just noticed quite a difference between working on Panther/Tiger and then working on Leopard. But additional features on Leopard seem like a reasonable explanation. Just not a satisfying one, but all I have right now. The fans stayed at low rpm all the time while I used Panther. I was doing the same stuff I now did on Leopard: installing applications. Thanks.
