G5 quad LCS clogged?

[AdiPlayZ]

After changing the thermal paste, the G5 still get hot (CPU B core 2 is the hottest 65C idle). The lCS isn't leaking. No corrosion at the PSU and aluminum case. I now finally thinking that my LCS is clogged. How do I unclog the LCS?

You disassemble it and flush it out. Probably a good thing to do every 10-15 years.

What coolant should I use ? Any PC custom loop coolant? Also is 50/50 water and white vinegar recommend for flushing it out?

Use a decent, high-performance coolant. There are threads posted of what people have used.


Flushing just means filling and dumping out the coolant until it’s clean. I’m not sure about vinegar and water.

It is a sealed system so there really shouldn’t be any gunk inside, but you never know after 15 years. Crazy things grow everywhere. You might discover a new type of anaerobic, flesh eating bacteria and release it to become the scourge of mankind on this planet.

But not likely.

Do some googling and searching on refinancing G5 systems. There are some good YouTubes out there.

I’m not expert. Results not guaranteed.
