[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 45610, member: 5184"] WOW! Great pics! Thanks hype.it Which G5 is this? And thanks also for your detailed explanation. Concerning copper oxydation, I don't think it's a biig issue, because it will be a very slow process. The liquid cooling system is a closed system, with no air in it, just liquid. A heating system in a house (which is often made out of cupper tubes with water running through) does very rarely get cluttered by copper oxydation. And, as car manufacturers do, they surely will not put simple tap water in that system, but demineralized H2O with anti-oxydation additives, maybe some other additives too to help the heat dissipation. The problem is not only the tubing itself, but more the junction of the different parts. These are the first to corrode and leak (in the case of copper tubes). Anyway, I just said that I'm generally sceptic concerning the combination water/electricity...but I'm sure Apple's engineers did a good job. [/QUOTE]
