Yes, it's true, Aqua-mac started something. Now they are for sale for all makes of the Powermac G4 series. MDD to the Sawtooth, with or without AGP graphics waterblock. A Koolance Exos-LT Silver unit is what is being used. Here is the link. |

Interesting. So these are custom-made for Power Mac G4s, or are they stock units shipped with custom-made adapters and fittings? btw, you can see how someone used a Koolance Exos unit to watercool an upgraded Digital Audio G4 back in 2004 here. |

Yeah, i remember reading that thread before. Interesting setup he has too. As for these new ones, if you look at the pics of each item you will see a custome clasp that fits onto the specific CPU's they "claim" will work. IE here...  |

Hi Guys, just returned from a grueling 2 day 700 mile trip! This looks interesting though, in fact seems very similar to the write up you are both talking about. Would certainly keep your computer cool, but at a price. Guess it could allow some serious overclocking. Wonder if it would get the Giga dual 1.8 to do 2 gigs. I guess now this kit is available, someone will eventually give that a shot!

Well, there is a lot of people out there with hot Giga upgrades, however it would be reasonably easy to modify the Spirica bracket to use on a Giga, just trim the ends down & bore some more 4 mm holes. Surprised they haven't offered this though.
