10.4: Eliminate excess fan noise under 10.4.3 on G5s
Authored by: samkass on Nov 07, '05 08:05:56AM

Unfortunately, turning off Nap doesn't make all my G5's chirping disappear... I had to put it in Automatic to make it completely quiet. Now that I have to set it to Highest to make the fan noise go away, I'm in a no-win situation with my G5's noise.

The chirping sound is a separate issue, which is addressed in this hint, also appearing today:

I don't have the fan cycling issue, thank goodness, but I do get the chirping, so first chance I get I'm going to give this hint a try.

Yes, but as I said, MacOS X Hints got it wrong on that other article. "Nap" mode only silences the most noticable chirps... Automatic mode makes the power supply and audio-line feedback completely silent. But now makes the fans go crazy. :(
