Power mac G4 Fan Mods and CPU fan Specification
Hey does anyone know where i might be able to find the specification for the CPU fan in a PowerMac G4 MDD FW800 1.25GHz DP?
I am looking to replace the fan in my mac because it is very noisy and i think the barings are shot in it because when it spins up at around 57C is makes very loud cluncling noises! I would like to find a replacement fan that is quiet but still moves the same amount if not more air within the case.
Other problems is that my mac freezes randomly quite alot so i was thinking of adding a few more fans to keep things cool. It normally runs at about 57-58C under the upper thresh hold but for some reason still crashes.
These are the proposed plans:
A: PCI fan
B: Mounting two small quiet fans on the grill on the front air intake to pull more air into the machine. These will be powered off the ATA 66 power supply
C: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/mddcooling_mods/MDD_coolingmods3.html I was thinking of doing something like this to apply more direct powerfull cooling to the processors. These would be powered off the ATA 100 power supply
D: Finally i thought i might replace the fans in the PSU with quieter ones though this isnt a priority at the moment so im not sure whether i would do this or not, its the CPU fan that makes most of the noise.
Any thoughts and fan specs would be much apreciated.
