1x straightened out allen key tightly zip tied onto another larger/longer one for getting down into the gap on the CPU card/heatsink. Notice my home-made long Hex tool for getting the CPUs out in the early gen G5s. All disconnected and setup under the back patio, ready for a clean up. So, here is the photo journal of the job (I stopped taking photos after doing the first two machines).ġ.
The dust inside the Macs wasn't as bad as I expected, except the Mac Pro, which had a bit of a build up on the intake fans, but does get much more run time than the PowerPCs.Īs part of the process, I wanted to re-do the thermal paste on the G5s which is a job I have never done before and they all still had their factory set, cracked and powdered white silicon gunk. As a pre-new-years preparation for smashing out productivity in 2018, I decided to pull the 4 big aluminum towers out of my office and give them all a thorough clean up (plus vacuum the carpet in the dusty space they took up).
