3-second iMac G5 Fan Noise fix [solved]
Wow ok this is gross and obvious, but I hadn’t thought of it: My G5 used to be very quiet compared to my PC, but now it is the noisier of the two. I had installed CPU temperature monitors and other software methods of trying to cool it, and then finally found this post:
iMac Fan Noise Cured in 3 seconds
I took a tissue and wiped off the bottom grill as well as the back intake vent. Eew! Covered in dirt and dust.
Within about 2 minutes my iMac got quieter by about 4 db. It’s now quietly happily humming away.
Duh! I clean out my PC all the time because I’m in there a lot, but had never thought to do this with my mac. Thanks matracer!
