Liquid Cooled Powermac G5 Dual-CPU Full Teardown

This rough G5 Dual CPU was liquid-cooled from the factory, and sadly that cooler degraded to the point where it leaked corrosive coolant all over the place and rusted it thoroughly. The CPU looks like it came off the ocean floor with all the new life surrounding it. This one wasn't savable, as we set out to clean it and test it, but in the end I salvaged as much as I could and threw out the rest!
