I've recently did a total rebuild on my dual 2.5's LCS and it's humming along nicely now.
Some questions :
1. Did you redo the thermal calibration after converting to air cooled? This has to be done with the LCS pump still plugged in.
2. Do you experience the same effect ( fans running high speed ) in OSX?
3. At what temperature does your CPU(s) run in OSX vs MorphOS?
One thing I noticed is that OSX is much better at reducing the frequency of the CPU(s) when not in use, thus the system generally runs a lot cooler than MorphOS ( My CPU's run at 45 and 48c in OSX but in MorphOS the main one is pegged at 71c)
What I've learned is that MorphOS always runs the CPU's at max frequency no matter what, thus they will run hotter all the time.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the help!

Yes, I did plug in the LCS off to the side when I ran calibration. One cpu gave an error the other calibrated fine.2. Do you experience the same effect ( fans running high speed ) in OSX? I don't have OSX to test.
The fans are not at full speed they just are running faster and when certain items happen (like when the rno widget changes the picture) the fans spin up for a moment. 3. At what temperature does your CPU(s) run in OSX vs MorphOS?
It runs around 168F to 172F, whenever it goes above 170 or so the fans spin up to bring them back down... I really wish there was a Nactua or similar silent solution, the drowning of the fans is very annoying.
Are your fans loud in your powermac?
