[QUOTE="hawkerman, post: 558714, member: 44805"] Greetings I have a MAC G5 (dual 2 GHZ). Some time ago all the fans began to race and be constantly going at maximum speed. I had a technician look at it and reported the following: Unable to thermal calibrate processors ASD test is reporting AGP error only Swapped AGP card - no change - same error Conclusion is the sensor in the bottom case and the case itself needs to be changed @ $825.00 (Aus) Is there a cheaper way to fix the problem? Will having the fans going at max speed be harmful? The machine runs OK but very noiset. I have built a wooden case around it with some insulation foam to deaden the noise which helps marginally.:Grimmace: [/QUOTE]
