10.4: Eliminate excess fan noise under 10.4.3 on G5s
Authored by: jeffulri on Nov 07, '05 03:46:37PM

Similar problems (fan stuck on HIGHEST cooling setting) on an iMac G5 (Rev:A) 17-inch w/SuperDrive after moving to 10.3.4 - followed all the instructions elsewhere to no avail (replace .ktext, check ownership/permissions, Zap PRAM, reset Open Format, etc.). A PHYSICAL reset using the internal hard reset buttons for the PRAM/NVRAM (at least, that's what I ASSUME they are) got rid of the problem and allowed me to continue to use the Processor Performance AUTOMATIC setting without inappropriate fan ramp-ups. Your mileage may vary.
