Hi all, I just picked up a used TiBook 1GHz to relive my old OS9 glory days.

The unit is fully functional and I loaded up OS9.2.2 and everything runs smoothly.

The only issue is that it has a lot of fan noise, but I am not sure if it is normal or not. I haven't owned one of these in forever so I can't remember what they were like.

As soon as I turn it on, I can hear the fan. It isn't crazy loud, but definitely noticeable and certainly not silent either.

Should these Powerbooks be "silent" unless being pushed really hard? I also have it dual booting to a clean 10.5.8 and the fan noise is still present right at boot until shutdown.

Is there a way to determine if there is something else going on with my unit that I should check into?

TIA!
