Thermal Paste for Power Mac G5

Hi!
I am looking for the right type of Thermal Paste to use in my Power Mac G5 (Late 2005) model 11.2. Have looked around the web but have only found related past to G3 and Power Book G4. Does anyone have a link to were I can by the right thermal paste?

Use Arctic Cooling MX-4.
Very long lived, high thermal conductivity, non-capacitive and non-conductive (electrically).

  • Need new low-end graphics card for Power Mac G5 (PowerPC 970)

    My Power Mac G5 (PowerPC 970) has recently died I believe due to a bad
    ATI RADEON X800 XT MAC EDITION video card.
    Reason for thinking its the card, is that the machine was performing its intended tasks for several days even though the monitor was snow.
    Having trouble determining a low-end replacement. (I no longer need the enhanced features of the RADEON X800 for this machine.
    Much appreciated if someone could suggest a product appropriate for PowerPC 970.
    Thanks!

    I also ran into this issue with my dual G5. When I bought it, I didn't get wireless because it was a dedicated desktop on the network, but I'm upgrading and giving it to the kids to use in a room without wired network. Now that wireless would be really nice and it looks like the official solution is:
    "Apple Wireless Upgrade Kit for Power Mac G5 Dual or Power Mac G5 Quad MA252G/A"
    which is really expensive and difficult to install. But the weird thing is that I do have bluetooth. I wonder if there's just some little doodad I need to connect to get wireless going too, but I can't find any info on the card, and it looks like it's buried on the motherboard behind all the cooling stuff. I'll probably just spring for one of the USB solutions.

  • 168 Pin RAm for Power Mac

    Does anyone know if MT8LD864AG-6 168 pin DIMM is compatible with the RAM for Power Mac 8500 120MHz and Power MAc 7200 120 MHz?
    Thank you in advance for your advice.

    Hi Robert,
    The ZIF processor upgrade I have in my Beige G3 MT (300 mHz originally) is a Sonnet G3/500--I wish it were a G4! I installed it when I still had OS9. It stayed in place when I installed Jaguar and, later, Panther.
    As Grant mentions, I used a third-party helper program called XPostFacto, "XPF" for short. Installing "unsupported" Panther with XPF was far easier than installing the "supported" Jaguar and the computer is now more stable.
    T'was Grant who talked me into trying Panther. Now I can't believe I waited so long! I used an older version of XPF, version 3.1, at Grant's suggestion. V3.1 seems to be the "sweet spot" for installing Panther. Some Beige G3 owners have successfully installed 10.4.x with later version of XPF but more users have reported stability issues than with 10.3.
    If you are interested in learning more about the upgrade paths available to the Beige G3, there is a very active forum area here:

  • Thermal paste for HP Pavilion G-6

    Do I need a specific type of replacement thermal paste for Hp Pavilion G-6?  Came with gray/silver.  (Replacing cooling fan only.)

    Any time you break the connection between the heatsink and the CPU core you need to clean off all the residue and reinstall thermal compound. Rubbing alcohol and even an emery cloth is OK...needs to be clean and shiny. Any type thermal compound will work. I like Arctic Silver. The important thing is to install it properly. A thin coat is all you need. Thin and even across the whole top surface of the processor core. 

  • Thermal paste for i7 3930k to Nuctua CPU cooler?

    I'm considering using Arctic silver 5 as the thermal interface between my 3930k and Nuctua NH-DI4 SE 2011 cooler. Is Arctic silver 5 a good choice? (The 3930k will be overclocked).
    I was to use Liquid Ultra , but Coolaboratory somehow botched my order, so it might not arrive for some weeks now.
    A store nearby store has Arctic silver 5 in stock, and I could pick some up today, if it's a suitable thermal paste for my build.

    That is what I bought when I built my computer... older, so mine is not a 3930, but the paste still works well

  • Normal CPU Temps for Power Mac G5?

    Hello All,
    I just wanted to know, since Im very curious about my temperatures since Im really trying to avoid the Logic Board failure due to Lead-less solder. Ive installed heat sinks on my DDR-SDRAM cards (x4 1GB Apple OEM chips (they bear the Apple Logo and have " Memory Module" on the stickers) I got four of these heat sinks: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835110105 and they work extremely well, however I dont possess the required tools to remove the processors to apply Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Paste, and these processors have not been budged one bit since purchase date. This is a Second Generation June 2004 Power Mac G5 DP 1.8GHz. The Processors temperatures are typically around 150ºF-160ºF Im using iStat Menus. Fans arent even noticeable. Nothing makes noises at all, I was just wondering if this is normal activity and if I need to take the heat sinks off and apply AS5 paste. If temps go above 160ºF, I pull the side panel off the Power Mac as well as the air deflector and I remove the "G5 plate" from over the processors and let it vent (still running normally, Im not sleeping it or shutting down) and processor temps come down to 130-135ºF. Should I worry about logic board failure if I leave them at 160ºF (both CPU A and CPU B are always the same temp (usually within 2ºF of each other) This is my only Mac other than an over clocked eMac (900MHz from 700MHz) and a DP 1.0GHz Xserve G4. I want to keep this G5 in working order as long as possible. Thanks so much. Also, by the way I have been dusting this Power Mac out every week since day one using compressed air. There has never been anything more than the slightest amount of dust in this machine, sometimes no dust at all. This machine is well looked after. Thanks in advance.
    Regards.

    I dont have a Hex key thats like what 10 inches? Long...the heat sinks are so deep. I wish it was a phillips

  • DVI to s-video adpater for Power Mac G4?

    I'm attempting to view digitial photos on my Power Mac G4 on an HDTV with an s-video connection. I've tried Apple's "DVI to video adapter" for the Power Mac G5, but it doesn't work, even after clicking "Detect Displays".
    Is there a DVI to s-video adapater from Apple or anybody else that will work with the Power Mac G4? If not, are there any other options?

    The Apple DVI to Video converter only works with certain graphics cards. The card has to be able to generate interlaced video at the correct scan rate, and modulate the color onto a carrier signal. For other card you would need a scan converter like:
    <http://www.audiovisualdevices.com.au/viewprod.php?catid=&productid=CPT380>
    This device has a VGA input, so you might need a DVI to VGA adapter. There may be other devices available with DVI input.

  • Dual monitor for Power mac g5 dual 2.3ghz

    I wanted some advice on which monitors to get for a dual monitor setup and if its even possible to setup on my G5 or do I need a different video card?
    Here's my computer spechs:
    Power mac G5 dual core 2.3 ghz (late 2005)
    Model: A1177
    Memory: 2GB DDR2 SDRAM
    HDD: 250GB
    OS X 10.5.8 Leopard
    The only thing I run on this is logic studio 8. I wanted to expand my setup but not sure how.
    Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks
    < Edited by Host >

    It depends on which video card you have installed, though not much.  Whichever card you have installed, you should have two DVI outputs available.  With the minimum 256 Meg VRAM, you should be able to support two 1920x1080 monitors without a problem, and the "HD" monitors are getting very plentiful and dropping in price.  Were I to buy today, I would make sure to get an LED monitor, as that flavor should have a longer overall life than a florescent panel monitor.  You can find monitors in 23" dimensions for under $200 a pop, and more 27" monitors are showing up at a slightly bigger bite.

  • Optical Fun for Power Mac G5 - Chosing a Burner

    Hi all,
    So I have a Power Mac G5 with a burner that is not so great anymore. I burn at 1x for DVDs and on good days, burn a CD at 4x. Time for a new burner you would say. I would agree.
    I have a predicament and wondered if anyone suggests a burner to go with. I'm not looking to spend a lot and just want something that would work well and fit nicely.
    I found two that might suit my little G5:
    Pioneer
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827129007
    LG
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136119
    Those two were Best Sellers at New Egg with nice reviews, but nothing on the Mac.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions or anything that worked for you?
    Has anyone used the brands above?
    Thanks for reading and in advance for the help,
    Bryant

    Hi. The Pioneer 112D is often recommended in these forums - can't recall any adverse reports. I installed a previous version, the 110D, with no problems - works well.
    The installation instructions are here
    http://www.info.apple.com/usen/cip/pdf/g5/073-0807.pdf
    Installation is a bit fiddly, but not difficult. There are two things to check: that the stand-offs (see Figure 8 of the installation instructions) are the right length to line the drive up with the aperture in the G5 casing - and that you remove the plastic bezel with CD, DVD, etc. on it from the front edge of the tray, so it doesn't catch on the edge of the aperture in the G5 casing - discussed here
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4443213#4443213
    If your current drive is a Pioneer, the stand-offs should be re-usable. If not, they may be able to be adjusted by not screwing them in fully, and then locking the thread with Loctite or similar.
    The drive should be recognised in Blue Apple menu > About this Mac > More Info > Hardware > Disc Burning (System Profiler). If there are any problems, please post again. Good Luck.

  • External CD drive for power mac 8100

    I have an 18 year old power mac 8100/80 AV.  It has an internal CD drive that is read only.  I need a cd drive that is read/write so that I can copy thousands of files off the mac.  I'm assuming that an external drive may be the best route, rather than removing the old drive and installiing a new one.  Can someone please advise on two points:
    1.  Is the external read/write CD drive the right way to go?
    2.  Where can I obtain said drive?
    Many thanks.
    i.forgot.all.i.knew

    Jan and Ji~m,
    Thanks for your suggestions.  I have to say that I'm not yet sure what to do.  I don't want to buy hardware unless I have to, and both of you appear to agree on this point.  I plan to give away or recycle the powermac when I get the files off it as I have no use or space for it.  I don't need to move the files to a CD; I need to move them to a PC (where I can read them) so I can get rid of the powermac.
    The 2,500 files on the powermac are mostly in MS Word, in the first version that was PC and Mac compatible, so I believe I can read them with no problem on my PC when I get them there.  Is this a good assumption?  Or am I going to run into a conversion problem like Ji~m mentions?
    I can't use the 3.5(?) inch "floppy" disk drive in the powermac because it gets formatted to mac-compatible before I copy files to it, and then the PC can't read it.
    So I thought of the CD solution I mentioned in my first post because I believe a physical CD reads and writes on both the mac and the PC without being re-formatted.  Is this correct?
    I like the idea of a cable like Jan mentioned.  I googled "AAUI to RJ-45 adapter" and can't tell from the pictures I viewed if I have a matching "AAUI Ethernet port" on the powermac.  It has MANY ports, but nearly all are unlabeled!  How do I determine what port might be the AAUI that Jan mentions?
    If I use the cable suggestion (which I like), can I plug the other end into a PC?  That's all I have -- this old powermac (OS 8.6) and several PCs (Dell and HP) with several OS's (W - XP, Vista, 7, and maybe 8).  (Jan mentioned moving the files over a network, but the only "network" I have is my in-house router connecting my PCs to the i-net.)  So how would I follow your cable suggestion?
    Many thanks for all your help!

  • Can I use my new iMac 20" as a monitor for for Power Mac G5?

    Actually I want to buy the new iMac 20" computer with the intel and then randomly use the iMac as a monitor display for my Power Mac G5 when I am editing video and then unhook it and use the Imac as a stand alone when I'm not editing video with my Power Mac. Will this work please. Thank You

    Hello, 
    It's not possible to use either the iMac (Flat Panel) (G4) or the new Intel iMacs as displays. The only options would be:
    VNC set-up. It's fairly low speed of refresh would probably make this undesirable for your situation: Screen Recycler (link)
    A video-in device. A device like Elgato's EyeTV Hybrid (link) would not be of sufficiently high resolution to be any use for video editing.
