Hi Stewie,
I had to connect the fan that way because there was no two pin
connector like the apple original. I've had to do this on my G3 also
with no issues.
I've also reset the PRAM. It's command+option+P+R. I've added a FW 400
PCI and it had this problem before I added this upgrade. I've also
replaced the logic board and still have this issue.
I sure hope it's not the CPU upgrade, I don't think I can send it back
now, it's beyond the 30 day warranty. I usually don't set my Mac to
sleep as I almost always have iTunes radio streaming in.
I'll take a look inside and let you know more about the setup. I'm a
little po'd, this is a nice Mac
otherwise. lol!
