    PMac G4 fans are not SW-controllable (atleast not Quicksilver and older, no clue about MDD/FW800), not sure wether there is a way to get CPU-temp on these either.


    Thank you. I have a Sawtooth M5183.

    Yes, I've have noticed that the chassis fan only has two wires and a sensor directly near the center of the fan.

    The release notes for 3.0 tells you this: "Delivers support for 4 temperature sensors in a PowerBook and 1 in a PowerMac.". But maybe not exactly my PowerMac model.

    I've cleaned some dust and moved the HDD to the left/front instead of sitting directly under the fan/sensor.


    The next step is to replace the chassis fan. Edit: replaced. Slightly better, I think.

    Next step: change the PSU fan.
