No - the warning is just for the 12v power connection to the card. However, the fan is easy to replace or lubricate if any problems arise and usually gives an early warning by becoming noisy.

Radeon 9000
Does any one know if a Radeon 9000 Pro video card out of a G4 MDD will run in a G4 Cube? Would there be an advantage over a Radeon 7500 on the same Apple 20 cinema display?

RJ 45 Aggravation Update
I finally got this work. Why this didn't work the first time or any of the other times, I don't know. Instead of cutting across cable with a utility knife I cut the insulation parallel with scissors and then cut the insulation away without taking a chance with scoring the individual wires. Then I made sure I did the wires a pair at a time, brown, orange, green and blue. The only problem I have is the line going to my TIVO. When I did the test #7 and 8 were dead. I was going to quit with the whole thing but I plugged the line into the TIVO and the pilot light on the adapter came on. The TIVO is back on the internet and is fully functional. Beats me. How many of the pairs does RJ 45 use? Anyway, the installation looks neat. The other main line I use works with all four pairs like its supposed to.

Mark Murphy It worked because it is probably just using pairs 12, and 36. It sounds like bad or cheap plugs. We had a problem like that at a school in central Texas. It sometimes took 4 or 5 times to terminate a cable correctly because the plugs were faulty. The outer sheath of the cable should be about 1/2 inch back from the end of the wires. The outer sheath has to go up into the plug and be crimped inside it for stress relief. The cable's, not yours.

If the 9000 Pro has a fan you might need to replace the fan with a smaller fan. It will give you better video than the 7500. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

I would take heat into consideration if installing one into a Cube. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
