[QUOTE="pphking, post: 133396, member: 6018"] My G5 iMac has started playing up recently. The fans are making noise that is louder than a G3 iMac and they sound as if they would when using about half the processor power. I don't think it's the same problem that everyone is talking about with the mid plane assembly (but i could be wrong). It's almost as if the computer doesn't realise that it's not processing anything and insists on having the fans on. I have tried repairing permissions, Mac Janitor, Tech Tool Pro and Internet Cleanup and nothing seems to work. The weird thing is that sometimes for 5 minutes or so it will be completely silent, but then the fans start. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance Paul [/QUOTE]
