Mmm, I don't know that many fan controllers are going to be able to handle a pump. Possibly the Sunbeam Extreme and some of the Lamptron ones that support 30W per channel.

I run a pump off the Bitwpower no problem
Using a D4 - they're known for being notoriously noisy. I knew this when I bought it, but I certainly wasn't expecting this... Sorting out a video now for my log...
Those of you suggesting alternative fan controllers - have a look at my build log (link in sig) to see why I unfortunately can't use them.
Yes a lot of people have said the thicker/fatter O rings seal the BP fittings...no I do not remember what size...I SORT of remember somebody posting it was a #2 for what that's worth.
Brian tells me he has just added a German reseller so there will be a shipment headed that way in about a month. It also looks like I will be shipping some Murder Mods parts to Germany here in a while so worst case I can stuff 10 feet of tube in there lol. Where there is the will...and a little patience...
Yup, the noise is pretty much why the D4 has gone the way of the Dodo for water coolers. Make SURE you have all the air out as that magnifys the noise issue a LOT.
#9 o-ring is what you want :)
Home Depot stocks Danco brand...not sure about Lowes....both should have them in/near the plumbing section, might be hard to find though depending on the store. Should be a box of 10 for ~$2 though :up:
I saw saw folks talking about the LED mounting to light up the res, I found that inserting them from the back into the side holes where the screws hold the res to the case is the best place for them. It lights it up perfectly if you use the bottom ones. As far as the pump goes, I believe it is cheaper to buy the res and pump separately and getting the variable one is a must. I run mine between 3 and 1 and that keeps it pretty quiet.

I rate it M for Mod-it :D
I need advice from the T3 flow experts.
I just added an Enzotech WMST-81NP mosfet block to my system, and figure I should probably split some of the stuff I have on my loop onto the other inlet/outlet of the T3.
My system now consists of:
Feser 360 rad
Swiftech Apogee GTZ
Swiftech MCW30
Enzotech WMST-81NP
D-Tek FuZion GFX 2
D5 var and T3
Supposedly the Enzotech WMST-81NP is pretty restrictive for a mosfet block, so I was originally gonna just put that by itself on one loop. But I was thinking that the Apogee GTZ + MCW30 + D-Tek FuZion GFX 2 has to be more restrictive then just the Enzotech block, so i was thinking of moving the rad to the other loop to kinda even things out.
But, I am not sure about everything, and just kinda guesstimating based on things I've read in the past.
So my thoughts are:
Loop 1 = Feser 360 rad + Enzotech WMST-81NP
Loop 2 = Apogee GTZ + MCW30 + D-Tek FuZion GFX 2
So what do you experts think, how would you set everything up?
IMO, either put the GTZ on its own subloop or GTZ + Feser :)
He is posting that to motivate me into getting off my arse and getting him some pump backs into the mail...it's working too :D
How goes your dive into the world of 3D modeling Warren?
I was busy getting 10 top port T3's off to Modders Mart and 25 each of PEC's and 8 ports...should be preselling this weekend if they are not already gone.
The 10 polished face plates went in like an hour so I may polish up 5 of the silver and 5 of the black if there are any left for Brian to ship to me after the week end.
Y'all are now up to speed. :)
Oops, almost forgot. The new single bay SFF style reservoir production sample arrived this week--it's stunning (IMHO anyway). The metal compression fitting samples are machining early next week...cross your fingers. I am down to one or two more prototypes of the new D5 pump top and then it will go into production--also pretty awesome I think. Also have the DDC full conversion (including lower case) just about where I want it so it will likely release at about the same time the D5 does.
I drew up a dual in dual out CPU block (micro channel) and the preliminary testing is pretty positive. I don't see it as a mainstream block obviously, but I think there might be SOME guys that would run them if the performance is there...leverage some of the extra flow rates the T3 offers up in parallel loop mode. The look is very minimal (think Murder Box and the less is more convention). I guess anyone that might be interested sound off...I wouldn't mind doing a short run of 50 or something.
NOW your up to speed.
.....and still waiting that res with fillpot ahhhhhhhhhhhh
would like to get that faceplate but without the res .......... ahhhhhhhhhhh
I got my black T3 faceplate today; it looks great with my lian li :D
Now I just need to put my pc back together, pc parts are taking over my kitchen... well actually my whole apartment lol
I just changed my loops around with the addition of EK chipset blocks. I feel fairly comfortable but would like an opinion.
Loop 1 - mcr320, mosfet, mosfet, heatkiller cu, TIII
Loop 2 - 120.3, n.bridge s.bridge block, mcw60, mcw60, TIII
Temps all look good with a 10c delta amvient to water.
Thanks
Sounds like my faceplate just arrived at the parent's i will get it tomorrow. :D
The vario pump really is a must for the T3. I got the fixed speed and it is getting a bit nosiy mounted up there in the bays. I will probably be upgrading to one when the GTX 300s make it to market. :yepp:
The VARIO pump is great, I can run it at setting 2 with no temp differences.
I ordered one of the faceplates to the UK but the shipping costs were scary!
I did not know that the T3 was released with the bonding strip removed.
BOXGODS what other mods do you have in planning for the T3?
Anyone know where to get these with quick and cheap shipping to Australia? I need one but Jab-Tech (Whom have everything else I need) won't be getting them for about 2-3 weeks!
yupii!!!! just got one of this res with fillport
it ships to 17th sept
the shipping cost is very scary to spain "WTH"
hope that one day there will be a oficial seller here from spain
I am not sure where they will be selling...I know SOME of it is going to Germany. Beyond that you need to pop over to Murdermods.com and see whats up.
OK, I will try to remember to have them add some black tubing for you when the new reseller gets their first shipment.
PICTURES!
Because Spain is on a continent Far Far away...:)
