Quieting a Mirrored Drive Door Power Mac G4
90CFM to 18dBa ratio is awesome. I picked up a sub-20dBa fan that was supposed to be in the 75CFM range, but it wasn't cooling the CPU enough.

Yeah I tried a 72 CFM 120 mm fan first & this just didnt cool it enough. I havent had any problems with nap mode whatsoever! Have you tried upgrading to 10.4.3 or later? Earlier problems people were having as documented on this site below were on MDD macs running 10.3.x. Also I always use the Combo updaters.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/feedback/MDD_CHUD_feedback.html#storytop Quote" Although one MDD owner initially reported problems after the 10.4.3 update with CHUD 3.5.2 Nap mode, he later said it seems ok now. 4 other MDD owners wrote they've seen no problems in 10.4.3 w/CHUD 3.5.2 NAP mode." It's definitely worth doing the power supply fan replacement with the Thermaltake Vocano 5 Heatsink fans. I was a bit scared to do it as it all sounded too difficult, but if you get organised, take your time & do it carefully you should find it quite easy if you have some basic experience tinkering with electronics. Just follow the excellent instructions posted on this page: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/g4_mirrored_drive_doors/noise_reduction/g4_ddr_noise_reduction.html |
