Here is a photo of the other side of the board (click for full resolution): This fan cools the back side of the logic board. Sure it doesn’t look like much but it’s function is very important, as I mentioned before. Take a peek behind your optical drive(s) and you’ll see it. Without this single fan your G5 can overheat and even die. There is a fan behind the hard drive fan as well, part of the media bay fan assembly (in some models), and it does not get the credit it deserves. – 1 fan for the hard drives (media bay fan)Ħ fans total, right? Wrong. – 1 fan in the PCI bay (speaker assembly) – 2 exhaust fans (rear exhaust fan assembly) – 2 intake fans (front inlet fan assembly) Let’s take a look at the Late 2005 Quad in this example. How many fans does a Power Mac G5 have? Depending on the configuration this answer varies but you can be almost sure the answer is always one short.
