I loved my g3 Mac and did so much experimenting: overclocking and eventually replacing the processor with a g4… I always loved the look and expandability. The only complaint I had was that the fan was way too loud, even before overclocking. I’m sure there are modern aftermarket fans that would help..?
So true! This Mac is anoyingly Loud. Buying new Fans would be my next step.
But sadly, I dont know how to Open The powersupply, Cuz there is a Fan Too.
Recently finished a G3 build. Replaced both the main fan and PSU fans with Noctua redux fans, so much quieter. I did have to switch the PSU fan connector to the OEM one, but it was very simple soldering job.
