This is a very nice solution. Will use the same two pumps I had planned for everything on the motherboard other then cpu/gpu and split it into two loops and still have back up pumpage. Or I could take the four pumps I had planned for the two video card loops and only go with 3 pumps...the third pump using this res/top and joining the two loops together in the res before it splits off into different rads and then to VGA pump 1 and VGA pump 2

Only problem is I run DDC's....hmm oh well

Looks like the Darth Bevis approach...stuff rads, pumps, and reservoirs in till the case bursts, then get a bigger case and stuff 43 fans in it lol.

Do you know ProTek by any chance? He is a modding buddy of mine living in HI (how many of you can there be there right? =)

If the price is really $60USD or there about, this will be really tempting!

The initial pricing I saw from Primo Chill (my design fees are determined partially from this information so I pay attention =) was:

$50 USD for the standard 8 port with flow indicator.
$60 USD for the Pumped version w/o pump.
$120 USD for the Pumped with D5.

Again, I have no say at all on pricing and those numbers could change.

Considering its a pump top, 2 port manifold, fill port etc all in one and comes with a full set of killer clear fittings including my rather snazzy :) tool free LED plugs...the price is pretty fair (IMHO).

Hello All,
Just thought I would pop in and see what is going on, and it seems to be a bunch....lol...:shocked:

Here are some teaser images of the Polycarbonate Ghost fittings and Tool included LED plug..WOW....a tool NICE..

There is a HEX shaped pocket in the back of the plug. The cap has the same HEX and is used as a wrench to tighten the plug in place. You then insert your LED into the pocket and use the cap to secure it in place.

The clear G1/4 Ghost fittings will come with the Typhoon III also. One pair each of 1/2" and 3/8". The colored versions will sell separately in several colors. They completely disappear when installed. ZERO fitting shows so modders will have very clean looking installations. The 1/2" will also be a high volume (.40" ID) fitting.

Nice work Geno :clap:

Years back when DD and a few others were breaking out with the MAZE the CPU was much hotter then video cards of the time. My Matrox G400 had a tiny little passive heat sink. Now its reversed...cards are getting hotter and hotter and CPU's are using less and less power.

Do you pump water from a single loop through your quad core CPU, then into and through one or two video cards? My thinking was that yes you are going to loose some pressure splitting the loops but your pumping cooler water into your components. If the point is to have the worlds most powerful D5 great, I can eek out 1% gains as well as the next guy. For most though the goal is more cooling efficiency. Even if you split your favorite D5 top into two loops using a manifold, some Y's, T's, L,s etc you loose that small % of gain over T3 because you get shorter cleaner runs...

Again, I was just trying a new approach.

Don't mean to be a wet dish rag but, GPU's aren't temp limited when OC'ing these days (for the average user) and are much more tolerant of higher temps so any water they get is pretty much all they'll ever need. We routinely see GPU's drop 30°C to 40°C when ppl go from air to water, another couple degrees cooler water isn't going to help them at all. I do look forward to the testing and release of these though as I see it as a way to possibly now fit a D5 into one of my mATX cases....on the other hand, that dual DDC res is sounding just as good. :idea: http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/.../FIREdevil.gif

Sell it for $75 or less and fits in one or two 5.25" bays then I am sold.

my interest has definitely been perked up on the ddc res!

those prices are really really nice considering what that package comes with

I did over simplify by only selecting 2 components and a specific direction. Adding in chipset/s etc etc. And your right of course...but that applies to the small pressure drop on a Dual loop too then doesn't it?

Kind of creeps me out actually lol. Most of the forums I frequent frown on it...rather used too I guess as I have even seen a bit of it now in [H].

Part of the process I don't really care for...like writing the book then having to do a book tour lol.

I admit I was expecting this particular forum to be a LOT rougher because I have seen people complaining in other forums about it being Fan Boys or flame fests in here...goes to show you rumors are seldom true as most everyone has been quite friendly. Hard questions does NOT mean unfriendly IMHO. This stuff cost money...

Well maybe if this came out a month ago when some people seemed to stuck on blunt mode. However everyone seems to be on the happy juice and it's good to see the positive thoughts. :)

Nice work Geno :clap:

:welcome:

I love the design of these ghost fittings. I was ready to buy some of the original ones.
Would love to see some installation shots.

The Typhoon III is also on my radar, great stuff!

Okay, so now I really want this, especially considering price... but could there maybe be a way to buy it without the clear fittings for $15 less? I'd rather use metal ones, purchased separately.

The Ghost fittings are great fittings that you have to see to appreciate. Tool free and invisible is a plus for modders.

I can't say much but I just finished an entire line of DROP DEAD gorgeous high flow fittings that are flat out going to knock peoples socks off. Stat tuned as they may even be done in time to ship with the T3.

Alcohol no. Will need to though as I know acrylic and alcohol is usually bad.

UV yes. The plastic IS UV stabilized.

Thermal cycling within the normal water cooling range is also not a problem. The only seam on the part is not a simple flat edge but rather a rabbited step that is mass balanced. If your into DICE or even more extreme stuff...no idea but I wouldn't =)

I do have a killer DICE dual bay tray design but I can't find a company with a big enough set to produce it lol.

As I posted earlier, I am a case modder so I am going to do my best to look out for modders. The base parts of Typhoon III WILL be available on Primo Chill's site for sale. This means if you want the front and back NOT glued together for w/e reason you can order one that way. You will also be able to order it with metal fittings. Resellers will likely not carry the individual parts to keep the number of SKU's down and to avoid tech support hassles when somebody glues a part to their forehead. I have not specifically asked Brian about the resellers though so that may not be the case.

I DO know Primo will have them for sure though as that was one of my stipulations for selling the design.

I machined one myself for a buddy but I seriously doubt I could talk ANY company into producing a commercial model as the Iwaki is just too $$$.

I actually have made quite a few "upgrades" for it out of aluminum that kick ass that I could never sell lol.

Primo Chill WILL be selling the fittings stand alone in clear and selected colors.

Your going to fall over when you see the whole line.

I think I may have sold my rad design this morning so be ready for that as well.
