Not sure if anyone else has come accross this.
Mac spec Powermac G5 dual 2.7ghz 2 gb ram 250gb serial ata ati radeon 9650 RME Fireface 800 Logic Pro 7.1 Reason 3 Whenever I start Logic my hard drive starts a failry high pitch whining noise. If I then add Reason via Rewire - it gets worse? Has anyone else come accross this? |

OKay - here is what the Apple service centre have said.
The whine was being caused by the CPU running too hot as one of the cooling fans was not spinning up due to an incorrect plug on the motherboard. I will take the G5 home tonght and test to se if this is the case. |
