If you had a 7450 based model, you would hear it ;)

It is, more or less. It's controlled via an I2C thermostat which is
programmed by OF to default thresholds that should be enough. I managed
to access this device on some models (pismo, first generation tipb) to
read the temp & eventually edit the thresholds but didn't release anything
yet, though I noticed Darwin explicitely switch the thermostat off during
sleep, at least on the Pismo. I don't know what model of thermostat is
used on more recent machines, it seems to be slightly different.

None of the G4s CPU have properly calibrated TAU. Actually, the TAU unit
isn't even supported anymore by Moto on recent chips.
