[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1529746, member: 56379"] Hello...and welcome to Mac-Forums!:) The Powermac G5 computers generate a lot of heat...they have a lots of fans...and the fans are well-known to be loud. The temperature of the room it is in...and where it is located (in a confined space or open space)...can effect how much cooling air it gets as well (and ability to expel the hot air from inside the box). Since you just purchased this computer...and since it's at least 8 years old...one thing I would suggest is opening it up...and checking for any build-up of dirt/fuzz (and removing it if there). DEFINITELY check the fan blades themselves...as well as the cooling fins of the heatsinks. Otherwise...if the computer is clean & operating normally...then the fan noise is probably normal. - Nick [/QUOTE]
