When I ran my iMac G5 ran at the "automatic" option, it felt like I was running a crawling 1.5Ghz G4. Now that I turned on the "Best" option, I don't care if it makes too much noise, as long as it isn't too loud, and to make sure it doesn't overheat. I don't want that capacitor problem with my Rev A iMac G5. With this option i set it to, It feels as if leopard has started to run as fast as snow leopard does. There should be an option for iMac G4 computers to change their clock speed, because i have one iMac G4 800 that has no internal HDD or DVD drive because the IDE bus FAILED. I boot off of a firewire drive, and it works fine. If i can overclock this to 1.1GHz, they say that the machine will produce too much heat that it might set on fire, and if i overclock it to 1Ghz it will be a little warm. I am planning on overclocking it to 1.15GHz, because without the HDD and DVD drive in there, I have room for a bunch of fans! Maybe even a small water-cooled system.
If it works out, I might overclock it to 1.2Ghz, but that might produce so much heat that only a water-cooled system will work with it. I can overclock my 1.25Ghz iMac G4 to 1.67Ghz, but I need a giant fan (or 2) on the logic board, and i will need to take out the HDD and CD drive. I wonder how you overclock a flower pot... -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
