Can anyone rate the primochill Typhoon III?

THE T3 LOWERED MY TEMPS BY 50%!!!!
i had high temps. and my temps went from 55C to 45C and room temp is 25C,

50% you said !!!!!.... I thought that the 50% of 55 was 27.5....

math 101... maybe !!!

[karbonkid]

I think he meant lowered his rise over ambient by 50%. Still, it would 33.3%, not 50 (55-25=30; 10degC drop = 1/3rd of 30)...

I think that was suppose to be a joke.

The real reason he lowered his temps was fixing the bad mount of his CPU block.

I'll get the same type of performance increase but mine will be the difference between the original and the new glue, millertime359 you've been following my posts and you know that my HK was mounted wrong. Well I slapped the GTZ in there for ease of mounting and having compressions instead of barbs and I'm totally hoping for a large improvement as well as less of a rainshower on my harddrives.

i knew a title like that was gonna start a tiny bit of drama, but yeah it was mostly a joke. 50% gains is by looking at the current delta of 20C and how it use to be 30, so 10C difference relative to the 20C is 50% worse with the old mounting. "A+(A*50%)=B" and "B-(B*33%)=A" its just how you do the math, 50% and 33% can both be the answer.

i turned my pc on this morning, and my temps are back up to 58C, i really think i need to find/make a better bracket, the fusionv2 AMD bracket just looks like a joke. its weak area is a 1/4 width of steel, and the holes are over an inch away. i think i have an idea of how to make it work, but its gonna look ugly.

you calc %change with this formula ((init-final)/init)*100 - ((30-20)/30)*100 = %change = 33%

not ((30-20)/20)*100

[GregSG]

No appearance at PPC ...

[Manicdan]

not ((30-20)/20)*100

change relative to final or change relative to initial, both are true statements, one is more accepted, thats all.

"My temps were 50% worse before i installed the T3" is a true statement

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

yeah but thats misleading to call it 50% its not 50 its 33....

[Manicdan]

misleading was the point. i stated the biggest number possible (with just enough truth so it wasnt a lie) i wanted to start some fires (not flames, big difference, lol)

[BoxGods]

Ahhhh...nothing like a little drama to get my pulse going lol.

Anyone remember that old thread with the peanut butter used as a TIM? AMAZING how many people fell for it.

[Jon K]

So when will these be in stock at stores

[Manicdan]

i could see a nice competition coming...

"Best TIM using common household items. Warning: heatsink, cpu, motherboard and fire-extinguisher not included"

[NaeKuh]

i forget what forum did the best coolant competition.

But beer was one of them...

i think we got more pissed cuz they wasted beer.

Its a cardinal sin to waste beer.

Not if it goes threw a chiller and comes back out to your glass.

That would be such a sweet kegorator

I have been, but been follow a few peoples build. I keep forgetting.

Yea rain shower over HDs probably not very good.

[Manicdan]

ok WTF, this morning i saw 58C, now im at 42C.

list of changes:
A/C unit was running all day (i have it set to 78F, but i dont trust it) so this morning my ambient might have been higher, but nothing that could warrant 10C
I just put some more water in the T3 to top it off, it use to grab a bubble every 30 seconds
and i lowered the pump from setting 4 to 3.

we shall see what its like tomorrow morning (and i need a real temp probe again, ugg @ money)

Last I looked, ModdersMart and PrimoChill had inventory, (as well as six of the custom units I did for them with a top port), 40 of the PEC and 40 of the standard 8 port had shipped to German/EU resellers. I think (just hearsay) Frozen and performance orders are shipping next week. They ARE getting caught back up.

I also got word that the latest machined samples of the Jet Top (a D5 serial only top design), a single bay reservoir, and a DDC pump top have shipped and I should have them this week for testing. Were a few other things I can't remember...one was the samples of the Billet aluminum face plate for T3 so I can confirm it fits etc. If it does they will enter production next week.

I also sold the design for a metal version of the Poly Ghosts. Very upscale...likely not for everyone of course, but another option. The drawings are at the factory for proof of manufacturing review. Cross your fingers as these are out there a bit lol.

I will keep you guys posted.

[millertime359]

Yea, just looked and Primochill only showed they had stock of the T3 with the speed control D5, but the non-vario version and just the T3 still show out of stock. Did Brian not completely update the site yet?

[Sadasius]

Hmmmmm BEER!

No idea. All I know for sure is I shipped out 6 of the custom top ports a few days ago. I am in Texas and they are in New Mexico so he SHOULD have them by Friday at the latest.

Hmmmmm BEER!

Yeah, I admit the concept of a kegerator mod made me pause and think about it for a minute too lol. Be the most popular mod at the LAN for sure.

[Altspacen]

Hmmmmm BEER!

Ugh, my best friend in the Marines just came home after his 2nd tour and beer was a large topic last night.. I'm so sick.

My T3 Update: Issued tracking number for usps, and it should be here before usps updates their site at this rate.

[Altspacen]

Update: Received the wrong order from primochill, and now they're sending one today to be with me on Monday. More waiting.. oh well got to love my luck lately.

But beer was one of them...

Goldschlager was one as well. And the actual gold specs improved the heat transfer.
