Take Apart Guide for PM G5 2.0 Dual (Late 2005)

Steve, you seem to be the man for teardown guides. Any chance you have one for a Dual 2.5 GHz G5 PPC?

Anyone have take apart guide for a Power Mac Dual 2.7GHz.
Thanks

Anyone have take apart guide for a Power Mac Dual 2.7GHz.

Both of you should look here. There are two PowerMac G5 manuals on there - you both want the one that's just labeled "Power Mac G5" as it contains the manual that covers both the dual 2.5 and the dual 2.7. The other manual (the Late 2004 one), only covers the single-processor 1.8 released in October 2004.

Outstanding. Thanks!

Hello Tim,

Check out the site below. It's not 100% what you're looking for but it will help. I'm in the same boat - having bought a dented case with a 2.7 ghz dual PowerMac that I'm looking to replace. I'm not as knowledgeable as to dismantle, but I've been cleaning another one that I bought just last week.

Steve,

I sure could use a take apart guide for my PowerMac G5 dual 2.0

You're going to need to be more specific about which model you have. Do you have the original dual 2.0 (PowerMac7,2) from June 2003 - June 2004, the dual 2.0 (PowerMac7,3) from June 2004 - April 2005, the dual 2.0 from April 2005 - October 2005 (also PowerMac7,3 but with PCI slots instead of PCI-X slots), or the 2.0 dual-core model from October 2005?

You also haven't left any means of contacting you.

Cheers Steve.
The guide is great for a detailed stripdown, thanks again. I have 1 question, my G5 if deffinately an early 2005 as it only has 4 memory slots but my front side bus is 1000mhz yet the guide says it is 900mhz

I sure could use a tear apart guide for our Power Mac G5 dual 2.0 GHz. Specifically taking out the shield that protects the dual processors. A user spilled hot chocolate throughout and I need to clean and inspect...

I guess, since I am asking, I could use a tear apart for Mac Pro 2x3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon

Thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure that's a typo in the guide. On a PowerMac G5, the processor speed was almost always 2x the speed of the bus. A 900 MHz bus is actually for the 1.8 GHz machines. It looks like the bus speed listed on page 12 of the guide is incorrect for all of the Early 2005 models.

Thanks Steve, makes sense.

You still haven't specified which dual 2.0 model you have, nor have you given me any way to get them to you.

I don't have any Mac Pro guides on me at the moment. I may have the one you need at home.
