How To Disassemble Power Mac G5 Quad For Cleaning

I have a Power Mac G5 Quad, and it has been a nightmare since day one. I don't mistreat things; in fact, I've spent thousands on this one over the years and it proceeds to perform exceedingly worse with each bit of attention. It runs super slow, even after running Mac Tune Up, Maintenance, and

If the processors are constantly overheating, you should propably also take a closer look at the processor unit with the liquid cooling part on it. It can be various things that make the processor overheat: the liquid pump can be broken. If this is the case, it will not transport the

The bus speed is set by the motherboard. The multiplier is set on the processor card. In some systems, there are ways of changing the bus speed, I do not know about the cube. There are also ways of changing the multiplier on some stock Apple cards. HOWEVER, both these involve circuit

Be sure if you try it on a 450 MHz board that it is a 7410 series and not a 7400. The 7400 has a glitch that prevents it from running at 500 and better. Some you can hit 500 with but I wouldn't trust it due to the flaw. On May 24, 2010, at 2:23 PM, John Carmonne wrote: Can you explain the
