Roy Jovero Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Hey all. I am considering buying a secondhand iMac G4 800MHz for $100, but the previous owner says that it has an overheating problem to the point where it will go the the restart screen. I've read about Apple putting too little/too much thermal paste and was wondering if this is indeed the culprit. I would love to get it, but if it's not worth my time, I'd like to know before I've just wasted a C-note.

scj312 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 You might want to change out the fan or the thermal paste. (I love my iMac G4 800MHz ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/66998-overheating-imac-g4/#findComment-475362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Jovero Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 Now would you say it's worth the risk? It's worth the risk to me, considering there are iMac G3's going for $60, and this G4 is only $40 more.
