My Hackintosh: MDD into G5 case is OSX86 now

[B B]

Have to buy another meter of copper tube to make the connection between the pump and the in-going water tube to the processor waterblock.

This is the tube which connect the out-going water from the radiator to the tank. I am waiting to get the tank to measure and bend and cut the upper side of the tube



I have already separated the Thermaltake pump from the original tank and replace the connectors :



The sensor for the water temperature is ready to be connected between the tube coming from the outgoing water from the last Mosfet and the serpentin



The digital screen is ready to flash the infos :

Looking good BB, You should take up work as a plumber! Where will you exit the PCI cards?

This is the MacPro case where the LCS is located, the system is inside the G5 case with the MDD door opening way and the transparant door with the lighted 3d Apple logo.

wow man, loving the copper piping, I'd orginally hope to do something similar with all my external tubing. Just couldnt work out how to attach it correctly. Looking good. cant wait to read and see more.

As I said earlier in the topic, it took me while to choose the solutions. I finally used three types of connectors :

1) the connectors to screw (with O ring) onto the waterblocks with straight connection for the north and south-bridges, mofsets (voltage regulators) and also the tank reservoir :











2) the standard plumber's connectors for the pipes in and out to the motherboard and from the two flexibles which go on the other side to the serpentin and the pipe coming from the pump :







How will the serpentin be attached to the bottom plate inside the Macpro case :



the flexible bringing the liquid to the serpentin inside the Macpro case from the second mosfet inside the G5 case is already attached :


The sensor will lay under the bottom plate :


Here the serpentin is resting with the vernis on. My friend, plumber and central warming specialist advised me to put two lays of vernis to avoid any oxydation and color changement with the warm liquid:



3) small pieces of transparant plastic tubes to connect the copper pipes to the processor, ram metallic tubes and the graphic card :





the outgoing from the GPU has to be connected with a small pipe to the northbridge:


All the pipes have been vernis. The pipe coming from the last ram to the northbridge has been redirected to the incoming connector from the GPU.

Last step before bringing all the pipes in position.

The pipes are drying after being vernished :

this long one will go from the pump to the incoming from the processor via the flexible connected under the bottom panel. For now it is put upsidedown for drying


the two pieces will connect the pump to the reservoir and the reservoir to the long one. The long one has to be cut because I decide to put the reservoir at the bottom part of the DVD drives holder instead of in the upper side






the last piece which connect the outgoing from the GPU waterblock to the northbridge


Tomorrow, all the pipes will be put definitely in place.
Next step is to insert the Thermaltake water level sensor inside the reservoir and then connect the two cases .
