hey - i have a 1.6 g5, and lately its been pretty noisy. the fans are super loud. not worried about hd noise/sound when opening apps and stuff...but it sounds like its "laboring to breath" and last night was really loud.
i have a dual g4 in my office, and the g5 is equally as loud, if not louder....
anyone have this prob? originally got it in september of last year, and its not a refurb.

apparently a lot of the early ones were liable to have faulty fans. It sounds like a couple of your fans have broken and the rest are labouring to compensate. It gets pretty hoy in there!

there is a SW patch for this, appearently its only one of the fans, it can be controled through SW. someone had the same problem here at work.

i see there is a firmware upgrade that has some fan updates...but not sure if its for 10.3.3, as the requirements are all 10.2.x
any links?
