For some Mac users the G4 era is already part of history as Apple already went through 2 CPU cycle, with the G5 and the Intel CPU transition. For many users, a G4-based computer is more than enough for their needs, and they keep upgrading it when required.

This record has a cost: heat release. To stabilize the overclocked card, several fans were added to keep the temperature as low as possible, turning the rather silent computer into a rather noisy one. The next step is probably the use of a water cooling system.
