On another note, I've heard of a few cases of the liquid cooling system leaking. It is entirely possible. Think of it as a mini car radiator (cause thats what it is). There are entire shops dedicated to radiator problems and repairs.


I've heard it a couple times on my Rev A dual G5. So it is not a pump issue (I don't have one). It sounds like a fan.
