Hi Rick,

Yeah, just a few moments ago with a 11,2 type G5.

After checking the `/lib/modules/4.19.[...]/kernel/drivers/macintosh`
directory for possibly useful modules and not sure about which to load I
went for `windfarm_core` and issued `modprobe -v windfarm_core` and
thankfully the fans went back to normal.

Maybe this will also work for your 7,3 type G5.

Cheers,
Frank
