Yay, I remembered to start a new thread for once!
On 2010/10/27 17:02, Mystic Prowler so eloquently wrote in another thread:
Especially my iMac G5. I turned the energy saver option to "Best" for
performance, and this machine roars louder than my G4 machines combined.
That is my biggest beef with the iMacs, more so than even the lack of
upgrade-ability. Well excepting the G3 of course, they are nearly
silent. :-) My iMac at four feet from where I sit makes far more noise
than my Power Mac which is only two feet away and situated at ear level.
Both run at 100% 24/7/365, but you'd think the iMac was doing the
majority of the work if you went just by the sound level. I think the
half sphere makes a chamber that resonates the sound, or maybe it's the
air flow restrictions.
I wonder if enlarging the air inlets and/or outlets would reduce the
sound level a little bit? Does anyone on the list have knowledge in this
area?
