10.4: Eliminate excess fan noise under 10.4.3 on G5s
Authored by: Apple&Pears on Nov 16, '05 08:54:21AM

Hello....I just want to thank you very very much for the information about the fans reving up on the OSX G5 after the update to 4.3....I had the same thing happen to me. After contacting Apple Tech Support (many times) and doing an Archival Install, throwing Cache Files to the Trash, nothing worked. Even in a "Test Users Account", the problem persisted. Their final suggestion, was to totally clean my Hard Drive and then do another Install. This would have involved buying hardware(LaCie Hard Drive) in order to back up data. The problem with my Fans reving up has been ongoing until today, when I finally read in Mac OSX Hints and saw the problem and solution addressedby you. Your solution regarding Energy Saver has WORKED. It is too bad that no one in Tech Support knew about this. I am sure that other people are having the same problem. Thankyou.
