G5 Water Cooler Install

IDK if this is exactly what this section is for, but I’m posting this anyways.

I managed to end up with a 2005 PCIX watercooled 2.5 or 2.7ghz dual core G5 some time ago. Thing is the board is shot, so it doesn’t boot… But its got a series 2 cooler in it. I want to take that cooler out and put it in one or the other of my G5 machines. If possible I also want to move the processor over, but I’m not very sure about doing that quite yet. Dunno how, and its not a simple 1 2 done process.

If it happens that I can pop a hole in the back of the case and strap a water cooler to the controller on the back, I want to do that at some point. However my current cooler is being dedicated to a pentium 3 single socket build I’ve been meaning to do. So, ftm, it can wait. I should probably repaste the chips tho.

I’ll start on this tomorrow some time. Gunna pull the cooler out and look at the cpu board.
