- 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.

To get that nicotine tar off in the UK we use sugar soap which is mainly used to wash interior paint down. Quick search shows sugar soap to be trisodium phosphate in US
Use a nut driver on hose clamps - they don't slip off! 👍
LOL that drop slow mo!
Nice video to, i have also a 2.5 Dual G5 Mac, i have to take a clooser look i think.
A superb video. I feel like I could almost do my g5, for new it keeps going. My experience with ssd in the g5 dual 2GHz and g5 quad is the the speed improvement it not what you would expect, perhaps a large OS overhead somewhere. Plus they seem very fussy if they work at all. I did use one for a while but seem to recall it being a pain to install to, I may have even had to write the raw image on another machine or installed in one. Right now I have two identical rust drives in a soft raid stripe setup. Runs faster than I recall the ssd sharing the work over two sata ports rather than one.
I gotta do the foot fix to mine after it got the drop kick delivery method.
18:27 expected bagpipe sounds..... So is that water loop using two different kinds of metal? as what I know (which admittedly is not enough to be useful, but enough to be dangerous) is that mixed metals can cause corrosion.
"Harder than Peter North" lol, subscribed
And what if you put modern cooling systems?The decorative cover will still cover it.
30:10 As a former mechanic I can relate!
Protip, (pun intended :P) bluetack to hold that screw on the screwdriver :)
Very nice work!
You can always tell a tech guy that actually gets stuff fixed.
Cluttered worn out work table. Tools scattered everywhere, screws, parts from previous projects, cable and wires cris-crossing, geek related knick-knacks, several monitors sitting askew, crap on the floor, hot-cold room, etc. LOVE it!!!
That would be a nice Morphos box.. the single processor pcie system is better though especially if you put a 2.5GHz processors in. You could have moved the 2.3 heatsinks to cool the 2.7s but the rebuild you did is good to go.
I have the others for morph
Nice machine. It's a shame it got damaged in transit, but I hope you get some compensation for their stupidity. I'm guessing your after a G5 Quad too?
Yup
Good video Chris. I always wanted one of these too, but I was always afraid of the leaking, etc. But, they don't look too difficult to service, assuming any leaking hasn't caused damage. Thanks for the video!
I missed working on the older Apple computers.
Don't worry about the small bubble. It will dissolve into the liquid over time. A few days or a week it will be gone. Good job.
Good job, have also a 2.5, the video card is broken will have to check that some day !
i once lost such a screw. it looked like it went straight into the gpu. only after completely dismantling it did we find it chilling in a corner on the case floor...
there are small screws that you can remove from upper case anc down on the case so you can fix the lid problem easyer .,.
love this stuff! - i have a 5.1 dual intel in the same chassis - built like a tank!
Interesting Vid Dr Chris 👍🏻 Cheers 🍻
Excellent rescue!
Very cool!!! 😀
Good Work, Brother.
tsk
Plus, when not in use grab the fire axe and hack off a slab from the basement stored Parmesan cheese wheel and grate away like there's no tomorrow.
Also, when bulking up in your spare time do some dead lift reps in between Amiga salvages.
Okay enough joking. Well after commodore took a huge dump we spent several years in the windows wonderland and as soon as OSX appeared on Apple's future radar we pretty much switched to OSX and haven't looked back except when we were both working using Win emulations or telnet when our jobs forced us to work remote. But somehow lately a linux mint laptop has magically appeared on my desk. My Amiga memories currently live on one of the kids old win10 floor models via the WinUAE emulator. Sigh.
boot up a uefi capable intel mac or pc with pimiga4
how many degrees removed with purple cooling?
Over 40!
Damn… it sucks when shipping does that kinda crap…
Lemme know if you need another one… I have two in storage…
Two in storage? You don't know how envious I am. 😂 These things don't pop up in the UK very often, and when they do, they tend to be ridiculously expensive, and/or dead or dying. I have been lucky with other models though. Got a nice dual core 2.3GHz for a ridiculously low price.
@@another3997 yeah, I used to resell them, till people stopped buying them.
I have hundreds of old macs… pretty much every model…
SMD recap recommended?
Apple used organic polymers. They never leak. Or at least not for a long ass time.
There is me thinking the whole "welcome to the sea" thing was because most of the time the Amigas you work on look like the bottom of the sea, never occurred to me it stood for "something else Amiga" lol.
SNA. Something NOT Amiga. This guy is tricking us in watching Macintosh repairs. I feel dirty This might be cool if you could remove the hardware from this G5 mac and somehow incorporate it into a CPU accelerator card for a 4000T.
@@stevenbrentson8 slaps @stevenbrentson8 with a huge trout
@@stevenbrentson8 No nvidia or Intel inside, good enough for me! My eMac G4 is the best retro machine ever, supporting games from Space Invaders to Quake III (including DOS and Amiga) on a CRT for 30€....
@@stevenbrentson8Sadly, this G5 can emulate a faster Amiga than real 68K hardware. If someone could hack UAE and Amiga PPC drivers to use the second G5 natively, it would put the old Amiga PPC boards to shame. And it would be cheaper than a real A4000 too. 😂
If there is a PCI-E bus, then you can put an M. 2 adapter and a drive. Now a lot of different adapters are being made.
This is pciX not pci e
