    I am wondering how widespread the problem of squeaky G5’s is. If you have a G5 with the “cricket effect” you will know what I mean. It is a great unsolved mystery. You can oil the fans – remove them – replace the drives – but you still get an intermittent high pitched slight squeaking noise which drives you mad.

    Has anyone recently found a cure for this, apparently widespread, disease?

    best

    Seems like the most popular answers are to keep the CPU performance at HIGHEST in the Engery Contol Panel, and one can use CHUD to disallow processor napping… this means that you will be full power – so the fans might kick in more often…
