![A Top of the line PowerMac G5 2.7 Liquid cooling system rebuild and upgrade
E531 - In this episode that took me a few months to complete, I purchased my long awaited powermac 2.7 with its ill fated liquid cooling system. we rebuild it and make it better! (AND PURPLE!) final tests resulted in up to 50c reduction of heat. under full loads
but the case comes smashed. damaged and broken. great.
come along for the ride, cutscenes and humor that make boring electronics repair interesting, educational and entertaining.
pump pinout
The black wiring to the pump has a six pin connector with 2 blanks. Look at the connector to the pump:
[1_2_34]
1, blank, 2, blank, 3 , 4.
The pinout is as follows:
1 = ground
2 = V mot (variable), PWM?
3 = Tach output
4 = 12v motor
