Mac G5 2.5 ghz waterblocks

[starky52jmas1125]

I'm looking for a waterblock for my Powermac G5 cooling unit. Seems I was a little too beastly and broke one of the hose connections. Can anyone help?

look around... there is a thread in this forum about that... pentium broke the refill valve off of his block.

you can have someone TIG weld the connection back on. iirc that is what pentium did.

The water block is actually the component the sits on top of the processor. The top end is made of plastic.

I broke off the stupid filler nozzle which is a lot different than the barbed ports on the waterblocks. Rule of thumb is that when you wanna replace the hoses, cut them off. Don't pull. Also, refilling these waterblocks are a pain in the ass. I had to rig mine up to an external power source so I could get all the air out of the loop.

if it is plastic, then you could epoxy it?

JB weld works wonders on these kinds of things......but with any liquid cooling in a computer, pressure test it and MAKE SURE there's no leaks!

oh the uses of jb weld... from thermal adhesive to waterblocks...

Thanks for the tips.
I actually found a one part epoxy at Ace Hardware called Plastic Surgery made by Surehold. It worked great.
thanks again, this is a great forum!

Topcat! Your doin' it again!
"there's no leaks"
Bad kitty!
Since there's=there is
-is- is singular
-and- is plural

So it would be:
THERE ARE NO LEAKS!!!
ps i asked my mom,and my english teacher they agreed with me!
