What a segue - My G5 has started making a low noise for extended periods...
The kind noise you might expect from a spinning thing finding it harder to
spin.
I figure it could be a fan, either on the case, or on the ATI graphics
card... Or the platter on my primary hard disk. I'm spoilt for choice. ; )
Should I be concerned? Is there a repair centre somewhere around Bassendean?
Would anyone be willing to make a house call?
Any thoughts appreciated,
Tobes.
I would worry with summer approaching, my first suspect is the graphics
card fan, as these are CRAP, they are squished into a small space (due
to PC's needing a max of 10mm card to card spacing).
Next I would suspect power supply and case fans, last a HDD :)
The PSU and case fans are easy to find replacements for and deal with,
the ones on the graphics cards are harder due to being integrated with
the heatsink :(
