It probably didn't affect all production runs of the Cube, but still lots of people had them, search "g4 overheating" for some examples.

There were a lot more complaints back in the day. Note that "overheating" doesn't necessarilly mean "shuting down".

I think that's the distinction. They get warm but certainly don't overheat. The only one I've seen with heat problems had a dual core 1.2gHZ CPU retrofitted. Undesirable to the point that half the heat sink had to be filed away to make it fit.
