My mistake, the 6800 I have is an AGP card, but it is a genuine Apple one if anyone else might be interested.
The 2.3 is not watercooled so coolant leaks are not something you need worry about.
just got it today. it is water cooled it has a radiator and pumps in it and the whole shabang.
One more thing.
does anyone know the pinout fo the PSU because I don't have the G5 C19 AC power cable so I'm modding a standard AC power cable to work and I wanna know which pin is hot and which is ground etc.
Um. I'm pretty sure the only water cooled G5s were the Dual 2.5GHz, Dual 2.7GHz (both single core, dual CPU) and the Quad 2.5GHz (dual dual core CPU). The service manuals confirm that I am not going insane. Are you sure you have a dual 2.3GHz and not something quicker? PM me the serial and I'll look it up for you......
thanks but my G5 is based around the PCI express architecture aslo to War http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Mac_G5 proof that the Dual-Core 2.3s were liquid cooled.
also mine is very silent, even when playing Doom 3 maxed out.
