[QUOTE="hype.it, post: 34217, member: 4085"] Here guys... Check this out. You know about Dual processing machines right? Of course you Do... Well, you can actually Dual processor a Cube too! Yes, It's been done many times before! But it can a be a major task specially if your gonna dual it with Dual 1Ghz G4 Processors. [b][i]Dual G4 450 Cube Modifications[/i][/b][i][/i] This is the [url=http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/cube/dual_g4_cube/dual_g4_cube.html][b]link[/b][/url] [i](from xlr8)[/i], to dual a Stock Cube with 450Mhz G4. Sonnet did a modulate to upgrade other powermacs to full [url=http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/G4CARDS/powerlogix_g4_1ghz/index.html]Powerlogix/Sonnet Dual 1Ghz[/url] status. [b][i]Overheating![/i][/b][i][/i] [i]Option A[/i] But due to the tiny enclosure of the cube it proved to be very unstable causing many problems related to over heating and inadequate airflow. This problems can be solved though. Here's how! [i]Option B[/i] You need to manufacture, or create a custom heat-sink and include one of those babies: [url=http://www.digit-life.com/articles/peltiercoolers/]Noiseless Super-coolers[/url] On the power-board of the Cube there is already a 12 Volts power source, initially for a internal fan (if you look carefully, you can see mountings for this part) but Apple never installed it, maybe they wanted to create a acoustically sound system. Newer 1.25Ghz Modules seems not to work, mainly due to speed different in the data bus... but one can try. Have fun... [/QUOTE]
