Since you are running 9.x and I am assuming not just Classic but can boot to 9.x, download Newer Gauge Pro 1.1:

This utility can measure your CPU's die-junction temperature. The Pismo generally will run in the 120°F > 150°F range; the fan is designed to spin up around 180°F as I recall. IBM rates this CPU as being stable up to 221°F. Most owners of black G3s never hear the fan run since the slower CPUs, fewer components, and larger dimensions of the 'book allow for lower temps than the new furnaces from all manufacturers.
I started my Wallstreet 10 minutes ago and it's temp is just 107°F as it sits idling. I would not be concerned about your fan unless Gauge Pro reports some unusual temps. -

Thanx for the reply..........yes, it is set up to Dual Boot.
I downloaded the Gauge PRO, nice little Application.
Let's see, the PISMO has been running for about 3hrs before I installed the Gauge Pro.
I am currently getting a CPU Temp of only 86F (Also running a Cooling Pad)
Guess I didn't need to replace that Fan after all?
Thanx for the quick response.
out,

Nov 9, 2007 9:45 PM in response to Thomas Vacchinoby Edzso,In the 6 years I had our Mr. Pismo (1G RAM/30HD) I never had the fan kick in....but once I upgraded it with a G4, I can get it to go on when uploading a full set of songs to my iPod, or using a few very intensive apps at the same time. She does make a good whine though when its on, and push a chunk of air!
