So I'm finally getting a G5 quad, I won an auction on goodwill. It is supposed to be arriving tomorrow. It looked in good shape in the pictures, and I didn't see any obvious signs of leaks in the picture (it was just a close up of the ram slots).
iFixit doesn't have any guides on the late G5 other than the PRAM battery for some reason.
How exactly do I know the system is in good shape, and how do I "service it" anyways? My only experience with liquid cooling is a PC I built with closed circuit corsair H60, which is just a plug and play type of unit.
I remember reading somewhere that the liquid cooled G5 issues were fixed with the release of the quad, but it's still concerning to me.
Edit: I found this, but the guide that OP used is a dead link. It also isn't on the web archive, I checked.
