If you are an owner of the PowerMac G4 MDD dual processor (mirror drive door) or PowerMac G4 FW800 dual processor series computers, you will obviously know the heat your Mac generates and the likelyhood of it overheating in the summer. There is an answer to addressing the heat issue-- CHUD 3.5.2. It is a free download from Apple. It adds a control panel "hardware" in the system preferences allowing for nap mode to be turned on in these PowerMac G4 MDD and PowerMac G4 FW800 series computers. Boy! It makes a big difference. I have CHUD 3.5.2 installed for a few years now and my PowerMac G4 MDD doesn't overheat anymore!
Nap mode allows your dual processor CPUs to scale down in temperature when it isn't doing anything processor intensive. Right now with room temperature at 88F degrees, my PowerMac G4 MDD dual processor computer is at 118F temperature while I am blogging.
It is a free download. you can get it here
It requires Mac OSX 10.4.11 Tiger or Mac OSX 10.5.8 Leopard and a PowerMac G4 MDD/Fw800 Dual Processor computer; Single Processor PowerMac G4 MDD/FW800 doesn't need CHUD 3.5.2 because nap mode is automatically on in the single processor PowerMac G4 MDD/Fw800 computers.
