I have a G5 PowerMac Dual 2.7 with the Delphi liquid cooled heat sink. I recently had to rebuild the heat sink due to leakage, I've seen on the list that some say if you never shut them down they wont corrode and leak,. What I need to know is if in sleep mode is the pump still running as to keep the fluid moving and preventing corrosion, I know the fans stop but what about the pump? I sure don't want to have it running full on and keep Edison in dough if I don't have to:-)
I don't know whether the pump sleeps or not, my guess would be that if it shuts down all other mechanical process' than it probably shuts down the pump too.
Someone else on the list mentioned using oil (mineral?) for coolant and that it was less or non-corrosive, that might be something to look into. There's a company that sells kits that basically consist of an aquarium that you put your MB into and then fill it with oil, I believe they sell just the oil too. Sorry I can't be more specific about the name but it shouldn't be too hard to find w/Google.
