Hi Dake,

What is the normal temperature for the G4?

@Serge The sensor is placed at the copper very close to the cpu.
My Pegs normal temp today is 44C.
I read somewhere that the G4 can handle 110C for 10years.
I believe the normal temp with original cooler and noisy fan is about 50-70C.

Nice looking cooler!

I'm no expert, but I think it would be fine providing you attach it properly and with high quality mounts. The standard heat sinks that came with the g4 was rather skinny, but it failed because of the cheap plastic mounts that melted and caused the heatsink to fall off the g4.

This happen to me twice, so I have first hand experience the issue.

Good luck,

Matt
