I've just opened a shitload of applications (not including vectorworks) at once and the fan is behaving normally. It seems to be entirely to do with when I open Vectorworks.
opening many apps doesn't necessarily stress your cpu, just uses up ram. 3d games, SETI@home, folding@home or xbench http://www.xbench.com/ would be a better indicator of whether the issue is vectorworks related

They wouldn't have replaced the processor, they would have replaced the whole LB. (The problem with iMacs was that the LB transistors couldn't take the ongoing current and eventually bulbed causing display anomalies and eventually failure.)
No need to worry about the paste, it will be a problem with the fans on the LB (as the LB would've been refurbed and potentially won't be an exact match to the original), or with an outdated OS, or a localised problem (environment, dust, etc).
pretty sure the imac g5 heatsink doesn't have a fan attached. i just meant when they transferred the processor to the new logic board they may not have seated the heatsink proper with compound. would explain higher temperatures triggering a high fan speed on cpu-intensive tasks like loading vectorworks. do you have the same fan noise when playing a 3d game for example?
an SMU reset also can clear up problems like fan speed control. you just need to unplug everything for 30 seconds, and press the smu reset switch at the rear (tiny pin hole button), plug in, boot up

usually fan speeds are controlled by your cpu temperature, sounds like maybe when they installed your processor into the new logic board, they didn't apply the thermal paste well or clamp the heatsink sufficiently. basically, the idea is to place a thin layer of thermal compound (goop that transmits heat well) between the processor and the heatsink to transfer the processor heat to the heatsink which is effective at dissipating heat since it has lots of surface area. the same thing can also happen on your gpu (graphics chip).
there are some pics here: [ame="http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=677120"]Pictures of re-applying thermal - Mac Forums[/ame]
if you are comfortable doing it yourself, otherwise anyone who has built a pc should be knowledgeable in applying thermal paste. arctic silver 5 is generally considered the standard high performance thermal compound.p.s. how do you open CAD drawings on a mac? ;)

hey so i just moved over from canada to do some school and am looking to start up some hardcourt polo in leeds (since i am under the impression it doesn't yet exist). basically i think what we need to do to get started is
1) get the word out
2) find some courts
3) build some malletsplease post around and tell your friends, this thread will be the official point of contact to get started. if you have any ideas for courts, please let me know since i have no idea, but civic quarter/hyde park area i think is most preferable.
after that, i think as soon as we have six people and six mallets, we can set up a night to have a go! you can also get ahold of me at facebook.com/jkupsch if you have any questions

26" wheels, flip-flop hub rear hub, EBB
throw on some risers and a smaller chainring, and i don't see why not! cheaper than s+s, that's for sure. more spokes would be nice though.

JOL, I appreciate your lack of familiarity with North American meteorological phenomena; however, this is the graphical interpretation of a Tornado. A "Hurricane", or Tropical cyclone as they are officially classified, is typically distinguished by a two-dimensional spiral. See [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_cyclone[/ame] for examples.
On the less sarcastic side- thanks to Dave/Sarah/roommates for the crash pad, JOL and Biancha for teaming with a stranger from Canada, Prav for the use of the bike after the one I sorted proved to be impossible to manoeuvre, Nhatt for the help setting a brake on the aforementioned behemoth of a bike, Roxy for the help figuring out where the hell to go on Saturday, Malice for playing with a bit of contact like I'm used to, and finally London in general for being so welcoming. Hope to see you all on Halloween!
