Nope. Was thinking about doing it in the winter when the temp. sat at 25�C with no auxillary cooling whatsoever, but the summer makes me think different. =] Oh yeah, it's a 266.
59C is on the warm side for a G3. A temperature in the 30s is what
I would normally expect. Are you overclocking the CPU/cache by any
chance?
Yea, I think i'm off to Dick Smith to buy myself a tube of heat transfer compound, and use one teeny dot of it. Ah well, at least it's only $5...Yes, the internal thermometers can be inaccurate (more so with G4s than with G3s, but it does happen).
The heatsink should be *fairly* cool given adequate circulation (that's
it's job), but a common overheating problem is when the heatsink isn't
making good contact with the CPU chip. Have you ever had the heatsink
off? A bit of thermal grease between the chip and the heatsink can
improve heat flow (if appropriate for your setup).
Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated.
Cheers, Evan.
