it seems fixed as Thomas tells us:
I told you I was part to the tests Verax made to solve this overheating problem... They gave me my 867 back (with 2 HD and 2 optical bays) a few days ago and with the kit they installed I never had any problem (CPU and PSU -M10 and M11 according to their nomenclature-). The MDD is now incredibly more quiet, although the results seem even more impressive (as I saw in Verax offices) on the latest MDDs that don't get that hot... My own MDD is now completely silent on boot and then if the sound level slowly increases it's still so easier to stand it (even as compared to Apple kit)!!! The small problems they'd had with the MDDs was the thermal between CPU and radiator... see their public statement for more explanation on this issue: http://www.verax.de (rubrique "Veraxed Mac: die Lösung", in German) or http://www.g4noise.com/forum/ (in English). CPU monitor now gives me a temperature between 60.2 et 61.1° C, and an average of 60,6 (normal use, 10 to 15 hours a day use)... but according to these engineer from Verax this device gives temperatures that are 5 to 8° C higher than they measured by themselves... It's really so cool now, if only Apple could have delivered such silent machines from start... |
