I heard it has leaking problems, any idea if they fixed it?
The lack of stock of T3 should give u a clue there.
There has been no word on the ABS version that's supposedly gonna fix all the cracking problems.
I'm not sure if they are doing anything at the moment. If they're just testing the new version to make sure there's no more problems... we should be hearing something about it here.
No. And they haven't taken care of all of those customers, including me, who have been affected by the cracking problems either.
great and i was thinking of a t3 pump one for my build
Well, I'd wait to get a T3 until they have confirmed that production has been fully migrated and brought up to speed state-side again.
no.And still waiting for some news from them and it almost past 3 months
When reviews about the T3 were favorable, BoxGods would chime in on threads like this.
When things go wrong....go figure
Oh yay, another topic for the T3 crank crew to biotch in. :rolleyes:
That's not helpful. Noone's "biotch"-ing here, a simple question was asked - are they fixed. The answer is clear, and was given - no. Further useful information, that supplied customer service is at present lacking, has also been provided, as a caveat should the OP decide to proceed anyway.Quote:

yeah I'm new here so I don't really know of past history involving any product. :sofa:
No ones biotching. . .yet, but someone will soon enough. ;)Quote:

The fact that they are gearing up to fix the problem does not mean they do not have to look after the customers that have suffered because of it. Those things arent cheap, they've made a crapload of money on a poorly made product. IMO they should have already refunded everyone. Terrible customer service, unforgiveable tbh.
Called the Typhoon cos it makes rain in your case?

I think its very unprofessional of BOXGOD's to do something like this.
When Bei and I made the P6T blocks and they didnt fit some boards, Bei went though fast RMA's to help the people who couldnt fit there blocks.
Boxgods u guys are bigger then bei, yet your 10x slower.
Primochill at least should get a special RMA group done ASAP.
OR Refund the money they took from ya.
totally agree'dQuote:

If BG or Brian do not inform me what's happening and the one in my case fails then I will be refunding both and going elsewhere.
The fact that they are not informing us of anything on this forum does not give me confidence in what their plans are.
Like was said above, when the T3 was being praised BG was on the forums all the time but where is he now?
C'mon BG the holidays are over, WHERE ARE YOU?????????????
Actaully, the T3 has been underfire from day 1 and BG has responded to those. He has also responded to this issue already. It was in a different thread.Quote:

There is a fix coming, seeing there is an issue with the old ones, I don't think anyone wants an old one for a replacement. That is probably why it is taking so long to get your replacements. There has also been some issues with getting the molds from the Chinese company, that is why it has taken extra time.
I know Brian seems to have issues with the RMA system on his site. It seems he doesn't respond very fast to them. That is a shame, but if you call him, you should get good service. I know that is a challenge for those on the other side of the pond, but I know I had no problems getting a hold of him when i called him though. :)
That's great to hear, but I'm not waiting up 'til midnight to make a phone call to sort this out. If an e-mail service is there it should be responded to.
Just get new molds done, since they made a :banana::banana::banana::banana:load of money already.Quote:

Notice the crack/scratch/mold imperfection thing near the fillport
And this :
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2429/...e5fc6e0b_b.jpg
More crack/scratch/mold imperfection on the left side and also the bottom screw holes
If they are going to market this product again, I really hope they replace the mold altogether than try to push "it's only a slight imperfection in the mold and it won't affect performance" bull:banana::banana::banana::banana: line
How do most of the cracks happen? I haven't plugged my T3 into the casing yet, I'm guessing it cracks due to the vibration + tension of being screwed into the case?
My T3 came straight out of the box with imperfections similar to hchristians, almost in identical spots. I couldn't call them cracks, more like surface imperfections. Although I'm awfully worried now that my new build is going to be put to sleep permanently by my T3, and a new T3 won't fix a shorted out motherboard. Also taking into consideration that I ordered mine from State side (i'm in Australia) and that its probably going to make any type of RMA more difficult than it really needs to be.
Only a matter of time until one of these kills hardware, then there's gonna be a right :banana::banana::banana::banana: storm. Should have been a product recall, but I guess that would pretty much bankrupt Primochill.
Either way I see this as the end for this company - crappy plastic ghost fittings that snap, poorly constructed overpriced reservoirs and an absolute lack of any semblance of customer service. These guys seem as bad as the old OCZ of the late 90s! They decided to cheap out and try and make as much money as possible in as little time as possible and now end users are suffering as Primochill refuse to face the consequences of their actions themselves. Disgraceful.
The lack of posts here of late by Boxgods says it all, used the forum for pimping the new res, got lots of people to buy in to it and now scarpered as its all gone belly up. That would be classed as trolling on the for sale forum wouldn't it?
That's too bad because it's the only bay mount for a D5, and it should save on a lot of tubing, fittings, hassle, etc. Just on a practical view, it could have been a great product. I'd jump for a full delrin version anytime.
Finally had some free time to assemble my PC... my T3 is cracked from the get go at one of the screw hole that's supposed to secure the res to the case. Haven't even screw anything in. I just
I noticed the crack when I rechecked it just before assembly. This means without ACTUALLY using it, mine just cracked. Didn't bang it to anything, no water, no nothing... IT JUST CRACKED.
I'm not even going to bother filling it with water, can be seen clearly that the crack goes all the way into the res water chamber.
Now I need to get some replacement components... dunno when I'm going to have some free time for assembly again.... ARRGGGGHHHHH
One of these has killed hardware. But hey, I don't want to biotch.Quote:

Miller,
I bought this thing based partly on the your repeated recommendation so I really don't care for your optimism.
Naekuh is pretty dead on, IMO. Ridiculously unprofessional and probably unforgivable given that this is still such a niche market. It looks like, unless something incredible happens soon, they'll just fall into the same category as thermaltake and aquatung. I'm glad it's not my buissiness.
looks like its a good thing i didnt wait and go with a d5 back when i was building... too bad considering how badass this thing did for two loops on one pump.
There are no visible cracks on mine, though I got my unit quite late, so the QC for it might have been better? I'm just quite afraid of putting it into the chassis. So far its been running outside for several weeks without any signs of leaks/cracks.
Unfortunately that's no indication that it'll work fine in the case. The issue seems to be the vibrations of the pump combined with the fluctuating water temps of a typical loop - and without the T3 being installed in a case via screws into the side threads, the vibrations may not cause cracking at those weak points.
Wouldn't do it if I were you. If one of these can crack without being used, it WILL crack on use.Quote:

@miller, I know you've used T3 in your builds, how are they holding up for you?
You know, I don't understand what good it would do for the primochill reps to be posting here in every thread. I'm not happy about this and am replacing mine (not willing to take the chance), but honestly, we know what's going on. What good is it going to do to have posts telling us the same thing over and over?
The RMA service is another deal and is completely unexcusable. If they can't replace it, they should refund everyone who has an RMA request. At least then those people might be willing to buy products from Primochill in the future. As it is... I don't think I'm willing to.
:cheer: Yay! I love being right. ;)
I know you guys can't help it, just like the scorpion, it's who you are.
I should also point out that Primochill can't just chuck the molds and start from scratch, the damn things co$t as much as a car to make. I do seem to recall Geno saying that they were going to try and fix them however. . .that could be another part of the reason it is taking so long. :shrug:
Don't think so, even without securing the sides of the T3 with screws, there's still a large possibility of it cracking over there. Closer inspection of my T3 makes me think that the shape of the res itself seems to indicate that it would crack from repeated temp raise/drop eventually.Quote:
Originally Posted by SoulsCollective

Simple shapes (plates) are mostly ok, just need to take into account the expansion/contraction of the acrylic material itself. Complex shapes would make the acrylic push against itself and thus crack. Molding the whole portion of complex shapes on 1 casting should have helped, but not by much.
I'd again state the gross error in the designer for putting the screw retainers in the acrylic without any spacer in between. Acrylic and metal have different expansion-contraction rate. With the spikes of temp, the metal would expand more than the acrylic, thus breaking the acrylic surrounding the screw retainers.
If I had any say in it, I'd still vote for 'chuck the old mold out the window'. Design faults all over it. It's better to start from scratch. Even if it costs as much as a car, it's not worth the bad publicity you're getting/going to get when it starts to crack again.Quote:

They are also switching material from cast acrylic to ABS.Quote:

Also need the rubber spacer between the screwholes and the res (for the screwholes that's supposed to secure the res to case). Goes a long way to dampen vibrations. Using rubber/foam washers just won't cut it.
The screwholes for the pump retainers need to be deeper though. There were reports of cracks going over that area as well. Another reason to make the back portion of the res full solid. Although in this one, instead of using spacer on the screwholes, rubber/foam washers on the plate would be the way to go to help reduce vibrations cause by the pump from transferring to the res.
Yea the mold would cost as much as a car if made by a reputable manufacturerQuote:

The quality of the mold speaks for itself
Oh my so much in this thread.
So why do the XPSC things (the res's with dual 355's) work well but not this? It's a shame since the idea of the T3 is by far the best ever used in WC imo. :clap:
But :down: to the poor implementation.
XSPC have different design. all of the outside are plain thick plates, all the complex shapes doesn't even touch the air once it's filled. If you see the back of T3, it's full of complex shapes to maximize container capacity and reduce cost of materials. With the complex shapes, it should all be solid on the back there.Quote:
Originally Posted by Z Overlord
You also need to take into account of the orientation of the pump itself.
Sideway mount like the T3 means there are concentrated stress points. on the pump housing (eg. bottom more than the top). Again, .... need thick solid base on the back.
XSPC res have the pumps on vertical orientation. Solves problem with cracking of the pump retainer. Having the orientation this way make stress point dispersed to all points.
Also, if you noticed, the screwholes on the XSPC have some kind of black rubber/plastic spacer between it at the acrylic. This is to prevent the acrylic being cracked open by the expansion of the metal screwholes when it gets hot.
Also note, 355 does produce less vibration than the 655. Even with 2 of em, the vibration stresses are spread through a large area.
Agreed, it's a shame. It is a beautiful concept. If only EK would've produced it or if motherboards could learn to swim.Quote:
Originally Posted by Z Overlord
First problem I see with this post is your forgetting that the XSPC is for DDC's which do not require a retainer to hold the pump in place.Quote:

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...8&postcount=43
Because the XSPCs use DDCs which don't require the same mounting mechanism as D5s? They are not comparable. Primochill has screwed this up, that's true. But AFAIK they blamed it on the shoddy Chinese manufacturer not properly manufacturing. We'll see what happens once it's moved back stateside with new material.Quote:

I may regret saying this quite soon. I just want to point out that not everyone'es experince correllates with what is being said in this thread.
That's an encouraging fact.Quote:

For me, they have not even responded to my RMA request.
Only got an automatic response that said the msg got logged.
I can certainly understand your frustration but you also have to realize that production doesn't simply happen over night. Here is the time line for this situation (as I understand it).Quote:

- Primo hires a "rescue company" to retrieve molds
- Molds head to US (presumably by ship, which will take ~2-4 weeks). At ~2' square, they are very small (by comparative measures to say, a 767), but they aren't exactly light, so plane is pretty much ruled out as shipping costs wouldn't be worth it.
- Molds go to new plant in US to be cleaned, fixed and tweaked. This could be as little as a day or as long as a month, depends how bad the Chinese trashed them.
- Test products with new material are made and put through the wringer. Process is repeated until suitable products are produced.
- Geno and Brian final OK them and start shipping again
It would be nice though if someone who is actually involved in the process would pop up and give us a clue as to what step they are at.
:clap: nice there mateQuote:

I will get more info for you guys when I get home fm PDXLAN on Monday. I am NOT related to Primochill, so I have no authority. I am friends with Geno so anything I relay will just be the results of that type of communication and does not indicate a business response - sorry for the disclaimer but I really feel bad about this situation and want folks to be taken care of and not suffer further confusion due to me
Spoke with Geno today. He said they have a small batch of the new parts in . . .he is tapping and assembling them to be sent out for those who have submitted an RMA
DB,
Thanks. Did he give an approximate ETA?
That's good news!!!Quote:

I still have little faith but I'm hoping to be wrong. If I get a replacement, I guess I'll have to buy a new motherboard to replace the soggy one and get the machine running again. Been stuck on a laptop for over a while now waiting for different things.
Ouch... got some parts soaked from the leak?Quote:

I live in the UK and have a cracked T3 waiting for exchange,
The problem I have is that primochill have left it for me to exchange it with the vendor I purchased it from.
But does Brian or BG know when they will be shipping these new T3's to the UK and how will we know they are the new design?
I have a 2nd T3 in my PC and I can already see cracks around the top mounting screws on the pump housing that were not there 2 weeks ago.
I have now taken that T3 out and am now left with playing the waiting game as primochill and BG are treating me and the vendor like mushrooms (kept in the dark and fed S**T).
The only saving grace I have at the moment is a recent re-release of planescape torment,a widescreen mod and recent mod fixes on my wife's laptop.
Really? I bought mine from performance pcs in the US.Quote:

Hey guys, I took a break from WC endeavours and was in Japan for a few months...I havw been running my T3 nonstop since i bought it when it came out. My Pc has been running the entire time without being turned off even while I was gone. My T3 doesn't leak and has no cracks. I have been out of the loop, where are they leaking exactly? do they all leak in the same spots? I was pulling out my gtx 295 blocks this week and now I am scared to put that thing back in,LOL!!
The cracks are mostly around the screw locations.Quote:

Check out the pic in the first page.
Oh Crap, mine never leaked, but there is a crack next to the left fill port just like in the first picture........damn......:(
Are you sure its a crack? Maybe just an imperfection from the moulds. Check if there is one on the other side too..Quote:

The best advice I can give anyone is to get it out of your PC until primochill can confirm when the new ones will be going out.
I have had both types of T3, the first one with the thick yellow band and the one that is in now is the T3 with no band and the allen key fixtures for the pump backplate.Both faulty.
Both leaking from the screw fixtures on the side.
I have not overtighened them and my D5 pump has been on 2 so very little vibration.
The bottom line is that they went cheap on the materials and we are now paying the price.
Way to go primochill.
I have emailed you and got no return

I know they are probably investing all of their time getting a revised T3 to market but at least answer your emails.
Being self employed myself I know how important customer service is, even in a recession where it is even more important.
Remember customers only come back when they have been looked after on their first visit.
I agree with your frustrations about communication and am trying to get them to respond to your emails.Quote:

Please let me know when you guys are contacted back. I backed the T3 so I feel partly responsible for people having bought it (assuming anyone listens to my posts anyways). I will bust my tail to make sure they take care of you all.
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 . . .
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/93...EC_.html#blank
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.

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:

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:

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.
