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?

Re: Mac G5 2.5 ghz waterblocks
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.sigpic

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

Re: Mac G5 2.5 ghz waterblocks
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.Find Nedry!

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!<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Thanks for the tips.
I actually found a one part epoxy at Ace Hardware called Plastic Surgery made by Surehold. It worked great.

Re: Mac G5 2.5 ghz waterblocks
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!

Hi first question posting here, but no need to go easy on me!
I have an HP EliteBook 840 G1 non touchscreen. The symptoms are that: Repairing or reinstalling windows freezes no matter how i try it. Live Ubuntu that works on any other computer also freezes while trying to load it. The RAM sticks and the harddrive work fine in other computers. I broke off the connector by accident, CN4750 and was using the laptop for a while with no coin battery. According to this schematic I found on here, which I THINK is the correct schematic, pins 2, 3, and 4 should short to ground, and they do.... -
Note to mods: please remove the first thread i posted. It had crappy title. Hopefully this will make some powermac expert look at it more likely
So i bought PowerMac G5, which worked for around an hour. Then i decided to partially strip it down and re-paste CPU, after which it still worked. However just after i added DDR2 memory into it and connected it to 220v, the mac made a loud pop noise, diagnostic leds on the front side of motherboard shortly blinked and since then, the power mac has no signs of life at all
PSU is API4fS13. There is no visibly broken component... -
Hello!
I recently successfully repaired two Apple PowerMac G4 MDD power supplies by swapping out bad caps, per excellent info found in various threads on this forum - yay!
I was doing testing on one of them, the ACBel API1PC36, with it's case open and had it setup outside of the PowerMac resting on the table with it's power connected to the system (power was also connected to a couple SCSI HDD drives, for a bit extra load). It was working fine, I shut down the system but did not unplug the PS from the power strip (and power strip was left on) so power was going into... -
Hi All -
I had replaced my ASUS 4090 Strix cooler with a waterblock and put the stock cooler on the shelf. Was moving it and snagged my sweater on the connector and pulled the wires out of the pins on the RGB connector. I tried to get them back on but its too small so I opened the stamped pins and tried to solder but its not a good repair and the wire broke on reinstallation.
Looking to replace the connector on the cable side and get pins to crimp onto a new cable. Bought random JST and such but nothing is correct. Can anyone help identify the connector and possibly matching... -
My daily carry just stopped working only me. Started last week with the voltage flickering. Found one lead was broken and I ordered new ones. New leads didn't change anything, it displays “-1” on all settings but on continuity will give the tone when touching. Checked battery and found the fuse blown. Replaced fuse but same results. Cleaned the dial and led display and its parts. Board looks nice and clean no burned or broken components. Nothing traumatic happened to this multimeter I put it aside when I found the lead broken and didn't touch it until I got the neAnyone have any ideas what's...
