I'm curious where this ends up going as well. I designed my home PC around the T3, and definitely don't want my components dieing from leaks that kinda seem inevitable.

I currently have a T3, so far it is not leaking. But I would Love to be able to replace it before it does start leaking on my current new build. I heard great reveiws on it before I bought it and did not see any posts on it having problems until after I purchased it.
I hope info comes out soon on the new one soon myself too.
frozen cpu has them . . .

They are out of stock and that is the old version like we have by the looks of it. I'm not sure what the new revision is going to look like yet.
Geno just posted a response in the T3 thread.
Woot!@

Got it and your replacement is packed and ready for pick up. Going USPS Priority Mail, so you should see it in a couple days.
Thanks again for your patience.

Cheers to Brian, just when I thought they wouldn't step up, they go and do beyond the decent thing.
I will be purchasing the new delrin T3 from them as soon as they go on sale.
PERFECT!!!!
lol, no, not perfect. He did the right thing and I'm very happy about it, but I have not seen it yet, I'm still out a motherboard, and although very easy at the end (to PC's credit), this was a long RMA process.Quote:

well, unfortunately, my t3 started leaking too. good thing theres nothing below it. except a rad, and 2 fans that ive yet to get around to giving power. noticied it because my video card has a spinning air bubble trapped in it. at least i can keep this thing running till the replacements become widely available.
and yeah any single large "crack" on the right fillport is just a flaw the chinese didnt do anything about fixing. but cracks at the screws, yup thats the leak alright.
and NaeKuh. way to remind me of "The Textinator" IT'S NAWT A RUMAH!!1!2!
Sooo..... Where are we with status - I'm been following this whole sordid mess since Nov. and waiting for it to be resolved.
I been putting a personal build on hold cuz the typhoon will really fit the bill - so to speak. When is version II expected to be available - update?
Well, when I get my improved replacement which Brian is testing right now which supposedly has everything fixed I'll sell it to you with a Swiftech mcp655 if you want it! I am getting some DDC's and and XSPC triple top....:DQuote:

But I already have sitting on my desk:
Swifttech 655 pump
Primochill 1/2" Clear & UV Blue Tubing
Swiftech dual rad's (x2) perfect for the Cooler Master 690 II Advanced case [wish it looked like a Lian Li sweetness]
Swiftech XT apogee CPU water block
4 x 1Tb Seagate drives looking for raid 5 home
Intel Q9550
Gigabyte EP45-UD3P MB
Still looking for a ATI 5870 (x2) and matching EK waterblocks.
Just missing the damn reservoir :shakes:
well, it would be at a discount...do you want the D5 included? LOL!!Quote:

It seems the T3 is cracking around that hole after 3 days use and the coolant is escaping from the tiny cracks.
I don't know if it's pump vibration or pump weight but that's what's happening.
One T3 is wrapped in bubble wrap waiting for confirmation from Primochill to post it back and the other is in my setup with kitchen roll underneath it catching the leaking fluid as I need my PC for use.
So goodbye to the T3 and can someone recommend the next best reservoir not from primochill that I can buy for my setup that will still use my D5 pump?
I am using the Koolance D5 pump/res combo in my Brimstone build.Quote:

I will have to walk away from the T3, as much as I love it, I just don't have any confidence in it anymore.
you buy it alacart so you buy the resevoir/pump base then choose the size tube then choose a top for it. I set it up last night in a test loop with the input going into the top of the res and was amazed at the flow. I might run it that way even with the turbulence as it looks cool. I know it is the wrong way but sometimes you have to get mavericky with it.Quote:

that is some sick patterning on your stuff there db...i am doing something similar with a hex pattern.
what did you use for yours?
FYI, the Koolance pump top ships with the coupler, all you need is the acrylic res tube and top for it.
So, with the Koolance top on the d5 your input is pulled from the res ..... is there another input on the top which supplies water to the res? Also I have the mcp655 in this scenario you would mount the pump vertical so the res is vertical, does this negatively effect performance or the life of the pump? Thanks for your help, I have been looking for a good D5 res combo for some time.

Thanks for the advice DB but after adding up the cost of the new res it is not feasible at the moment.
I have decided to give Brian and primochill another chance as he assures me a newer revision out next week will be as perfect he can get it.
