Hello! I've a strange issue when I use my Power Mac G5 (original PowerMac7,2 from 2003, Dual 2.0 GHz): http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g5/stats/powermac_g5_2.0_dp.html
When I use Mac OS X 10.3.9 on it, everything is fine. When I use Mac OS X 10.4.11 on it, just like with Panther. But, when I use Mac OS X 10.5.8, the fans will just start to slowly increase rpm so that they make a lot of nose (but not the max. rpm, just a higher one), then go down to normal. This just happend after approx. 30 minutes after switching it on and working on it. It was already heated up as it was running on 10.4.11 before. It would continue to do the fan rpm increase/decrease every 3-5 minutes or so. I was doing some installation of verious applications, so the processor must have done a lot of work, but not constantly at 100% like with a benchmark application. I've had this before, but with an older firmware. This behavior was gone – so I thought – with the firmware update, but I was only using 10.3.9 after the update… until now. So, how is it with a G5 and Leopard? Are there any known issues that I just didn't find yet? Are you using your G5 Power Macs with Tiger or with Leopard? Might the issue be fixed if I clean out the dust, which I presume must be there after all these years (I didn't look too deep into it yet)?
