mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.

If you do this, does the fan speed lower?
Note that is from an Ultra4, Ultra6 hardware address may differ slightly. The PWM values are 0-255 (min to max). 50 would put it around 1500rpm, 200 would be around 4500rpm. That is just a one time setting, it won't adjust on high temps, so set it to 200+ at least if you walk away for awhile, to be safe. A script can be created to monitor temp and adjust the fans on these unsupported systems.
