[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1564400, member: 56379"] I was kind of thinking that's where they came from.:) Since the 2.5ghz dual-cpu Powermac G5 had a liquid cooling system...did you also install the liquid cooling system? You're probably right...it's probably some sort of firmware issue. I've seen firmware updates...but not whole/complete firmware files. These are probably proprietary to Apple (not freely available to the average user). Just wanted to add one more thing. I hope you haven't spent too much $$$ doing this. A "genuine" dual cpu 2.5ghz Powermac G5 is probably selling for around $150. Here's one on e-Bay for $149 (Buy It Now). Seller is also taking "Best Offers".

I know that you're probably doing this for the "curiosity factor". I'm just mentioning $$$...since I find it important to keep an eye on this. Especially in this case...since you are sort of reinventing the wheel.;) [/QUOTE]
