Let's not mention the fact that the single T3 will power two rigs in teh build (and one PSU). No, that would just be showboating. Four 3d monitors built in would also be a little grandiose ;)

Only 4 displays DB? Wow. Haven't you done that B4 like 2-3 times? :D

What he isn't mentioning is that he has gotten tired of hefting his 100 pound rigs so Trek will have DB type wheels, ans a suspension system lol.

Im SERIOUS.

i would like to see a regular PC, but its wheels actually work, and a fan controller is used to adjust the speed and turn it. so it would look 100% stock, but can drive

Put a powerfull enough motor on it, so if someone is beating you, you drive you comp over and knock him out of his car ;)

That is allowed right :D

I'm looking to put upgrade to watercooling for the first time and will be running a single loop to just my i7 and motherboard full block, do you guys think it's worthwhile to buy the T3? Will it with the MCP655 perform better than an MCP355 w/ XSPC Res top for a CPU/Mobo only loop?

And I saw some others mentioned installing it in the ATCS 840 and that they had a little trouble because of the tool-less 5.25" bay mounts? Do you just have to totally remove the retention mounts and just use screws?

Well, do you think there is a chance you will decide to GPUs on water? Skinnee is getting really close to posting the test results it sounds like, I would give it another day or so for those numbers to come out, and then make your decision :up:

At the moment I'm just running a 4870 and selling my 4870x2 so I won't be watercooling any GPU's for a while but I may when I upgrade to a next gen part down the road. Right now I'm mostly just in water because if I keep this i7 setup I'm gonna be ready to get away from this TRUE since it's not cutting the mustard at 4Ghz+.

I'm curious to heard a pump with this res/top, because there are no noise dampening ...

PS : Sorry for my realy realy bad English :(

New rule. Your mod can't be taller then you are. Or weigh more :)

Well, although the performance on 2 loops is amazing, the single loop performance doesn't exactly suck lol. Its middle of the pack for pump tops. As another poster pointed out, its also good to have that second loop ability if your going to add other blocks down the road. Call it future proofing.

As for your case, several guys have posted pics of their T3's mounted using the rails.

We all speak case modding and water cooling so no worries.

There is actually quite a bit of MASS to the T3. It is not a lightweight part. There are also 8 rubber mounting washers included that isolate vibration.

Short answer. Once all the air is properly bled off (as with any pump) the T3 is very quiet. Certainly quieter then 2 DDC's would be (and in some cases the T3 will beat TWO DDC's on performance as well).

Any word on if someone is going to put the T3 head to head with the XSPC dual bay res for the dual DDCs? I thought question was put forth earlier and Skinnee said he's not going to have a chance to do that one for a while.

I was wondering if anyone else was planning on it, would be interesting to see the results. :yepp:

Performance is my main concern more than the possibility of upgrading to a dual loop later on. I just wanted to know if anyone has tested to see how a single loop with just like a CPU block would perform using it vs using a DDC+ and XSPC Res top. The main thing I'm after is just getting the best temps I can out of an i7.

Also, how are temps with the D5 pump mounted up in the 5.25" bay? Does it get hot without a fan or anything blowing on it?

Skinnee I think is suppose to have those types of tests done and posted here any time now.

Trimming the stash does not count for weight reduction. :rofl:

Honestly though, keep up all the awesome work. ;) :up:. . . .and stay away from the Jager! :p:

Keeping in mind I designed the T3 (in the interests of full disclosure) I can give a pretty good idea of the results of a head to head.

PQ curves will look great for the DDC dualie. In real world usage, the much more restrictive CPU blocks will like the higher pressure the DDC's bring to the table. GPU's, rads, and lower restriction cpu blocks will like the better flow rates of the T3. To my mind, even if you have a restrictive CPU, your GPU's and rad/s are going to want the better flow...How do you loop two DDC's so that they can leverage their pressure edge? It will depend on your loops, the T3 will win some (more in my mind =) and the Dual DDC will win others. I think the fact that T3 does it with one LESS pump, and the fact that it is the quieter and the one generally considered more reliable makes it the much more elegant solution.

Again, just my biased opinion :)

Yeah, I have watched DB shaving off the weight with such dedication that I ALMOST feel like loosing some weight myself. I am not ashamed to say DB, VERY proud of you for sticking with it man.

Ah well, looks like Skinnee didn't make it tonight for the review :(

To make up for it, here is a little video of the results of glue trial 4.

And yes, I added a top AND bottom port for grins. I would move them over closer to the sides on the next one. Since Bei Fei was obviously WAY unhappy and has NO problem expressing himself about things that piss him off, this particular unit is on its way to him.

geno.boxgods.com/MVI_0358.divx

I spoke with Brian about making a version with the top port available on ModdersMart and/or the PrimoChill store available for a slight premium for those users with very large or heavy cases. He said he wouuld consider it.
