Audio Apps Too Much For G5?
I'm currently on a G5 DP 2.3 with 4.5Gb RAM and having this issue: As a comparative test, I played 4 480p h.264 movies at the same time to push the CPUs and even with CPU load at 160% the fans were still quiet. Is it possible that CPU load can discriminate between the type of work being done? I'd have thought not?
I haven't come across this before - I was previously using a G5 iMac 1.8 and a G5 Quad - they'd both fire up the fans during any heavy task, whether it was audio, graphics or video. Has anyone experienced similar or got any thoughts? I haven't had any kernel panics or crashes yet but I'd rather prevent rather than cure. |
