As far as I know, G4s are way louder than G5s... Which is something important to consider, but, as G5 are not yet supported...
Any information about silent g4 models?
My 933 quicksilver is really loud.

G4 QuickSilvers only feature simple fans with buildin (primitive) temp-sensor. Replacing them with quality fans and adding some "smart" fan controller makes a huge difference.


Can you point out some suggestions for fans and controllers?

As I've said before, my Quicksilver is very quiet, so I suspect his system has at least one defective fan.


Hmm, I think I'm not alone, check this out: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/quicksilver_noise/quieting_quicksilver_noise.html

Maybe yours had a replacement before you got it.
BTW, 9600 XT is not to loud...
