Re: Multibridge Pro 2 Fan never stops - normal?

"Is this normal"

Yes - Most all professional video gear is designed to be in operation continuously. The problem with the Multibridge Pro is that it's fan isn't quite up to "pro" quality. Mine started squealing about three months after it was put into use. I was able to prolong the life of the fan by lubricating the shaft with delayed-viscosity penetrating grease. It lasted a few more months but I've mothballed the Multibridge because of the Open GL/nvidia/Blackmagic issues.

I'm hoping that the Snow Leopard release will fix the problems with Open GL (renamed Open CL) and sacrificing Extended Desktop is the result. If the Open GL problem has not been resolved AND the Extended Desktop has been removed, well then that's just another thing to add to the list.

It's amazing how quiet the Mac Pro is without the Multibridge running!
