I can't rate the performance of the Primochill Typhoon III.
I can rate their QC and Customer Service though
Look what I got :
Cracked @ front fillport (probably drilled the hole and cracked it) :
Cracked side :
Opened a ticket and did not receive any response for the past 5 days!
Buyers beware
hchristian, are you aware this is a holiday weekend? The front image shows an imperfection in the mold not a crack (they all have that imperfection). I am not sure about the second one. I am sure you will have a response today.

Darth Beavis is right. Mine has these flaws as well and I remember reading about it either earlier in this thread somewhere or possibly in Skinnee's review. To prevent these minor mold flaws would require a mold change which would have cost in the tens of thousands so it was not an option. Once your res is installed and full they are hardly noticable.
If I'm a danger to myself just think what I could do to you.

Thanks all for the clarification.
I am going to install it this weekend then.
Please post pics bud!!! Look forward to seeing your build. I suggest using the clear led plugs in the front if you do not need them in back.

Any news when more of the top fillport versions will be coming into stock? Also the front plates?

Sorry I did not answer you sooner...up to my neck in case mod projects. Thanks everyone for answering this.
Correct. The two scratches are actually in the mold. They were not there for the gold sample we approved but WERE there on the first order of 1,000 parts that arrived ALL of them have identical scratches. I actually could have rejected the entire shipment but if you had seen the mountain of boxes filled with plastic...was way too expensive to ship it back to China to be shredded and reused. I am not some eco warrior but even I couldn't just dump them in some landfill. The next batch of fronts should have them polished out of the molds (I would swear they will but the injection molding company is in China...a bit of a crap shoot) But on the upside, Century Child is also correct in that they are not visable when the rez is filled.
I just cut 10 top port fronts and should have them shipped out to Primo by Wednesday or Thursday so Brian will likely have them on Pre sale Thursday or Friday and available to ship by Monday or so.
Face plates cleared Customs I believe (I will check for sure the next time I talk to Brian) and should be on their site any day now.
Yeah...those actually DO look better then I thought they would...I designed up some slightly smaller metal plugs to work better with the new face plates but I actually like the way the clear looks better now that I see it lol. Didn't you show me that pic a while back DB?
I need more sleep lol.
OK, just talked with Brian and he says the face plates are there and look great. He is going to get some pictures to show the new grain direction (the correct direction) later today if he can. He also said he can put them on moddersmart.com today for those who don't mind plain packaging and no instructions.
Installation is pretty straight forward...apply the double back tape around the edge on the back and press the face plate onto your T3. You may need to adjust the T3 back some as the face plate is 1/16" thick. If your case does not have the adjustable type slots in the optical bays (most cases do) you may need to file the holes back a tiny bit--2 minute job if your a case modder, but if your not a "tinker with it type" have a look at your case before ordering please =)
There are 50 brushed anodized black, 40 brushed silver, and 10 polished...when they are gone they are gone so if you need a face plate...don't wait.
BG-
Are these going to be up on the site, or should we contact PrimoChill/Moddersmart specifically about the faceplates, separately? Just checked both sites (just in case) and didn't see them yet. Can you tell I can't wait to order this?!? heh Thanks.
On a question of worth, would it be worth it to swap out 2 355's w/ XSPC tops for a primochill to run the proposed:
Loop 1: GTZ, PA 120.2; SR1 120
Loop 2: MCW30, XSPC 4870x2; PA 120.2; SR1 120
Otherwise I'd be running it all in series with the 2 DDC 3.2's.

Going from a dual to a parallel will probably not show any temp improvements. It should clean of the case though, one less pump and res. I would look at XSPC's new bay res as you already have 2 355s.
