Hi everyone!
I just acquired an Early 2005 Dual 2GHz PowerMac G5. The Mac runs great, however using iStat menus I noticed that CPU A always draws about 10 more Amps than CPU B. Obviously, power and thermals reflect the greater current, resulting in 10W greater power draw and 10C higher temperatures on CPU A, with the fans spinning more frequently on the upper processor.
CPU usage looks about the same between the two. What could cause this difference? Thank you!
