Mörkö's Second PowerMac G5

[Finndamage]

Hi Mörkö,

Any chance of seeing some more photos how does it look like inside/under the original heat sink? Did you also mod your PSU to fit inside the original PSU case in the bottom?

Hi Mörkö,

Yes, to both questions
I don't have taken many photos but here is couple.

Really nice build and case mod Mörkö! On a component level pretty similar that I have in mind. It's good to see people getting these done. Gives me hope.

Terveisiä Hämeenlinnasta!

Thanks Kiuruja (ja terveisiä Askolasta)

Modding is not so difficult if you first decide what you're going to do.

My EVGA GTX 760 AC had some extra noises when fan was running at 1470-1500 rpm and with some other rpms too.
Fans are now Noctua's 92mm and there is no extra noises anymore.
Casing of the EVGA graphics card is not the final version...

Did you connect the fans to the GPUs PWM signal? Or are they working on fixed voltage and don't change the rpm?

 

[Mörkö]

Did you connect the fans to the GPUs PWM signal?

Yes.
Rpm is now bit too low, highest that I have seen is 1320 and GPU temperature is now between 79-81°C when testing with Unigine Heaven and Unigine Valley.
The fans I'm using are Noctua NF-A9X14, max rpm 2200, so the rpm could be much higher under full load and GPU temperature lower.
