g5 quad

I was testing a fx 4500 that i flashed 30 minutes ago and wanted to do a openmark benchmark it went down to 9 fps then click device shut itself down. I first though it overheated or something because it switchs itself off immedietly when i press the power on button. I can see that motherboard...

My G5 Quad - which I bought second hand three years ago to play high-end PowerPC games - had become increasingly temperamental; random freezes, kernal panics, loud fans. It would work fine if I didn't do anything taxing but as soon as I loaded up a JS-heavy website or 3D game, it would crash and...

Hi all, I'm having some trouble flashing a Sapphire X1950XT with the X1900 ROM for G5 and could use some guidance to prevent me from pulling my hair out. I've successfully "flashed" the card in FreeDOS, MS-DOS and multiple versions of ATIflash. I used the file package from this thread...

I bought this last night for 60 bucks and I can’t get it to work. I have the factory install disk for OS 10.6.6. Using the control key on startup the only drive it reads is the install disk. Going though the install disk it will go until it is “preparing to install and then it says that it...

Hi, Can anyone help me with quad support bar cable wiring? I don't have original cable, just regular dual version that is missing LCS connector. I'm going to add missing cables myself but need some help. I need to know where 12 LCS connector cables go to 26pin lobo connector. I was looking...

Okay, so I bought a G5Quad like 5 months ago, and it's been running fantastic, but the foam thingy under the LCS was rotten from all the years of use. I took it out to clean all the dust that had accumulated and it was breaking in my hands. So a few months go by, and I find a polyestirene mat...

Hi everyone, yesterday, I got myself a PowerMac G5 Quad. It had a 1TB hard drive, and I upgraded the RAM to 8GB. The graphics card is a Geforce 6600 (Default as far as I know). I am really suprised how smooth this machine is running Leopard, compared to my PowerMac G4 MDD (DP 867MHz, a lot...
