Quieting a Mirrored Drive Door Power Mac G4
Is the SilenX fan controlled by the thermostat like the original? I bought a replacement fan a while back which was supposed to be quieter than the original, but it ran at full speed all the time and ended up being noisier. BTW, I agree with richardjenkins - I got the verax kit for the PSU and it made a huge difference in the noise level. Pricey, but in my opinion well worth it. If the SilenX fan actually cycles up and down, then I need to get one ASAP!

Yes the silenx fan seems to cycle up and down, just like the original, and like another generic fan I tried which didnt put out enough air to keep it cool enough.

Further, it's important that you connect the Silenx fan to the 2 pin motherboard connector & not the 4 pin Molex connector. This way it cycles up & down in speed. With the molex connector it just remains on full speed, which is a bit too noisy.

I just bought the Silenx fan, but it has a 3-wire tail on it. How do I connect it to the 2-pin connector on the G4 MDD motherboard? |
