Running the WoW client with video recording at max resolution got my new iMac’s CPU fan to kick into overdrive. At first I thought something had gone crazy with the Ventrilo client, and it was just generating static, but when I muted sound and it kept making noise, I realized what I was actually hearing.
On the plus side, it means this iMac won’t burn out essential parts like the last one did, cause it’s fan refuses to ever turn on, much less go into overdrive. On the down side, once the new iMac’s fan turns on, the only way to get it to stop is to put the box to sleep. Even when all the temp indicators had gone down to well below where it usually idles just fine, the fan just kept on screaming.
Yeah, apple hardware is so much better than the PC world. [HAMBURGER]
Oh, and Comcast is being all flakey when I try to upload the 808MB video from stormwind, to youtube, so still waiting on that one.
