Kozmik> The reason why your CPU is so hot might be because you have an aluminium processor chip. They tend to run hotter than the copper ones. My 333MHz runs at 82�F and is …

Well, seeing as how all iMac DV SEs (which I already stated that I own one) have CPU revision 3.0 (copper G3s), I'm assuming mine is copper. Another reason I am so sure is that Gau…

Interesting. Checked my wife's DV Se and the CPU revision is 2.2 and it's sitting around 132 degrees now. Gotta get a stand for that thing.

I knew it! I have a copper one, and it runs at 95 F�

My copper chip usually runs at 123�F. The copper wiring process was not originally created for cooling reasons (as is evidenced), but for higher clockspeeds and better pipelines on…

Kosmic, not all DVSEs have copper chips. Mine has aluminum I want to overclock mine to 500 Mhz. Would this be too much for my aluminum processor? I'm afraid it will over heat…

So my copper chip runs only 8 degrees cooler than your aluminum chip? As I said before, the copper wiring process was not designed for cooling reasons.

They weren't designed to run coolor, but they just do. That's a fact.

My guess is: There is enough variation in each individual chip that you would be hard pressed to find, in real life, the theoretical (cooling) advantage/disadvantage of either alum…

Yes, and why does my copper chip run hotter than some aluminum chips? It is not a fact that copper chips run cooler than aluminum chips. It isn't. Also, how the hell do you speed u…

i just dip my iMac into a vat of liquid helium, it keeps everything nice and frosty

Kozmik, you run a program called G3/G4 profiler form Powerlogix. You can set your L2 cache's speed a LOT higher. I have mine running at 222mhz (stock was 133) and it runs fine an…

Hey, let's all overclock our L2 caches and motherboards and while we're at it let's do our RAM chips and hard disks as well. P.S I overclocked my DVD drive to go at 24x

How fast can the L2 cache go with the comp remaining stable and cool?

FYI: The Temperature sensor is IN the G3 chip, so you won't see any temp increase when boosting the cache speed, that doesn't mean that you are not running your cache too hot. The …

I increased the cache speed to 200MHz with that PowerLogix program, and it works beautifully! There's a noticeable speed difference in some things I do, also. I have a question, th…

Hit "APPLY ON RESTART". The end. Smartass Ca$h. ehehe.

My G4/400 was sitting at 199 mhz and I boosted it to 265.7 mhz that way and it runs for weeks at that speed without a problem. Of course, having two fans in the case helps. My wi…

I am looking to add an internal hard drive inside of a DuoDock. I have a bracket to hold the hard drive, and the internal SCSI connector is a stand 50-pin ribbon, but Apple used a…

I just sold my duo-dock 2 yesterday.... a day earlier I could have told you. I had the special cable, I had an internal HD in the dock. I got the cable for $5 cdn, at a used Mac …

yea, Red Tag rocks If they only carried Newton stuff they'd be the only place I'd spend my money

OK, I know this is pretty pedestrian for youse guys, but I figgered this wouldn't take more than a microblip for one of you scientists to explain to me; and that is: What would I …

You need 2 graphics cards for a dual-monitor setup. G4 towers come with one graphics card in a 2x AGP slot. Adding a second graphics card in one of the PCI slots and using that car…
