- nMP 6-core/32Gb/D700/512Gb: rMBP 15" 2.3GHz/16Gb/512Gb: iPhone 6 128Gb: iPad Air 2 128Gb: NEC PA322U
Before I start, I have searched and searched and could not come up with anything here. If you do have a old link please state it to save reviving this issue.
Anyway, I run my PowerMac G5 on the 'Reduced Performance' setting to allow the fans to barely make a noise. Great for web browsing etc, but thats about it. I do a lot of Photoshop work and filters etc take ages to process on this so I have to put it on 'Highest Performance'. Whilst this increases performance 10 fold noise also becomes unbearable.
Even if I just run the cursor left to right on the dock, the fans will go on full blast and then once I stop they spin back down again. I wouldn't mind so much if it was a constant noise and it took a bit longer before it kicked in but its so intermittent and surely the CPU's can't warm up that much in 10 seconds of what must be light activity really?
If there is any thing you can think of to try, or fan controller software or really anything it would be VERY much appreciated! It's driving me nuts.
Specs are in profile, and it is the liquid cooled model.
