Powermac G5 2.3 DC Late 2005...liquid cooled???

It may be that the warning was printed up for all models in a particular family. I can confirm, however, that the dual core 2.3 GHz model is not liquid cooled. Only models running at 2.5 GHz and higher had a liquid cooling system.

Hi-

It's not liquid cooled.
Only 2.5GHz and 2.7GHz machines are liquid cooled.

And when I go to the Apple Profiler, it lists 2 CPU's...I'm totally confused.

or
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermacg5/stats/powermac_g5_dual2.3.html

Does the System Profiler list the machine as a "PowerMac 7,3" or a "PowerMac11,2"?
The PowerMac7,3 is an Early 2005 PCI-X/AGP dual processor model, and the PowerMac11,2 is the Late 2005 PCIe dual core model.

It lists "11,2". I ran the serial # at Apple as well, and it says "Late 2005". On one of the above links, there is a report of a DC 2.3 leaking. I have looked with a flashlight and I see what looks like pipes just through the grate behind the forward fans.

PowerMac 11,2 is the Late 2005 model, that's correct. I think the person in one of those links who said his DC 2.3 was leaking was mistaken. They are not liquid cooled. The pipes you are seeing are air heatpipes, not coolant pipes.

Also, the service manual for the Late 2005 models has this to say about the liquid cooling system (verbatim from the manual): "The Power Mac G5 (Late 2005 Quad) configuration uses a liquid cooling system (LCS) to manage the temperature in the computer." Notice how it only references the Quad model - the only Late 2005 model that's at 2.5 GHz or above.

Cool...the evidence seems to be overwhelming, so I am rolling the dice and going with the 2.3. The 2.7 is tempting, but I don't know the full history and the age worries me with the potential of springing a leak. Thanks to ALL for the input!!!!!
