I found a utility called g4fancontrol for my powerbook. I'm not sure if it would work for G5 Macs but its worth a try.

That does not seem to work on my G5.

I'm not sure you want to slow down the fans considering the G5s were always known to run hot.

Yeah, I just want to be able to low them down when the temps allow.

I cannot imagine that they need to blow 100% all the time.
