Anyone tried this D5 pump top? O___O

[geoffsthaboss]

The initial pricing I saw from Primo Chill (my design fees are determined partially from this information so I pay attention =) was:

$50 USD for the standard 8 port with flow indicator.
$60 USD for the Pumped version w/o pump.
$120 USD for the Pumped with D5.

Again, I have no say at all on pricing and those numbers could change.

Considering its a pump top, 2 port manifold, fill port etc all in one and comes with a full set of killer clear fittings including my rather snazzy tool free LED plugs...the price is pretty fair (IMHO).

those prices are really really nice considering what that package comes with

Sell it for $75 or less and fits in one or two 5.25" bays then I am sold.

gah thats tooooo much

Yeah it's good to see more and more reps here at XS. Props to you Primochill fella(s?)

Don't mean to be a wet dish rag but, GPU's aren't temp limited when OC'ing these days (for the average user) and are much more tolerant of higher temps so any water they get is pretty much all they'll ever need. We routinely see GPU's drop 30°C to 40°C when ppl go from air to water, another couple degrees cooler water isn't going to help them at all. I do look forward to the testing and release of these though as I see it as a way to possibly now fit a D5 into one of my mATX cases....on the other hand, that dual DDC res is sounding just as good.

I did over simplify by only selecting 2 components and a specific direction. Adding in chipset/s etc etc. And your right of course...but that applies to the small pressure drop on a Dual loop too then doesn't it?

Kind of creeps me out actually lol. Most of the forums I frequent frown on it...rather used too I guess as I have even seen a bit of it now in [H].

Part of the process I don't really care for...like writing the book then having to do a book tour lol.

I admit I was expecting this particular forum to be a LOT rougher because I have seen people complaining in other forums about it being Fan Boys or flame fests in here...goes to show you rumors are seldom true as most everyone has been quite friendly. Hard questions does NOT mean unfriendly IMHO. This stuff cost money...

Well maybe if this came out a month ago when some people seemed to stuck on blunt mode. However everyone seems to be on the happy juice and it's good to see the positive thoughts.

The clear G1/4 Ghost fittings will come with the Typhoon III also. One pair each of 1/2" and 3/8". The colored versions will sell separately in several colors. They completely disappear when installed. ZERO fitting shows so modders will have very clean looking installations. The 1/2" will also be a high volume (.40" ID) fitting.

Nice work Geno

I love the design of these ghost fittings. I was ready to buy some of the original ones.
Would love to see some installation shots.

The Typhoon III is also on my radar, great stuff!

[AndrewZorn]

Okay, so now I really want this, especially considering price... but could there maybe be a way to buy it without the clear fittings for $15 less? I'd rather use metal ones, purchased separately.

@Boxgods, This is the kinder gentler XS.

I'm nabbing those fittings.

The Ghost fittings are great fittings that you have to see to appreciate. Tool free and invisible is a plus for modders.

I can't say much but I just finished an entire line of DROP DEAD gorgeous high flow fittings that are flat out going to knock peoples socks off. Stat tuned as they may even be done in time to ship with the T3.

[BoxGods]

question: has this material of unit been subjected to any of

alcohol

thermal cycling

UV lighting

in your testing of 3yrs

Alcohol no. Will need to though as I know acrylic and alcohol is usually bad.

UV yes. The plastic IS UV stabilized.

Thermal cycling within the normal water cooling range is also not a problem. The only seam on the part is not a simple flat edge but rather a rabbited step that is mass balanced. If your into DICE or even more extreme stuff...no idea but I wouldn't =)

I do have a killer DICE dual bay tray design but I can't find a company with a big enough set to produce it lol.

As I posted earlier, I am a case modder so I am going to do my best to look out for modders. The base parts of Typhoon III WILL be available on Primo Chill's site for sale. This means if you want the front and back NOT glued together for w/e reason you can order one that way. You will also be able to order it with metal fittings. Resellers will likely not carry the individual parts to keep the number of SKU's down and to avoid tech support hassles when somebody glues a part to their forehead. I have not specifically asked Brian about the resellers though so that may not be the case.

I DO know Primo will have them for sure though as that was one of my stipulations for selling the design.

[BoxGods]

@PrimoChill....

Have you considered making a reservoir for the almighty Iwaki RD30???

I machined one myself for a buddy but I seriously doubt I could talk ANY company into producing a commercial model as the Iwaki is just too $$$.

I actually have made quite a few "upgrades" for it out of aluminum that kick ass that I could never sell lol.

[BoxGods]

@Boxgods, This is the kinder gentler XS.

Yeah...now I have to go to [H] to watch Red poke DB with a stick =)

[BoxGods]

I'm nabbing those fittings.

Primo Chill WILL be selling the fittings stand alone in clear and selected colors.

Your going to fall over when you see the whole line.

I think I may have sold my rad design this morning so be ready for that as well.

[geoffsthaboss]

when are we going to be seeing these goodies on shelves?
weeks or months?

[BoxGods]

Martin and skinnee--

I can confirm that the production samples DID ship today from Asia.





Just as an FYI the production parts will have nickel plated inserts not the brass shown in the picture. They are only sending 5 units...but your covered skinnee as your getting mine. The plugs and fittings are also NOT done yet but I would like to ship to you guys without them as I do not see that affecting your testing. Metal Ghosts are almost identical (and have the same ID as their polycarbonate counterparts). Your call however.

[xTKxhom3r]

nice!! man i cant wait !!

[MomijiTMO]

Go PrimoChill.

[BoxGods]

Anxious to see the performance results...

You and me both =)

Judging by your system specs though I don't see you in T3's target demographic lol.

What are the T's in your avatar for? (I only ask because I am in WAY South Texas)

Great!

But glue? Why not bolts and an o-ring? I'll leave that to you, I guess.

[Eddie3dfx]

Nickel plated what... Nickel plated aluminum or nickel plated steel?

[Gir92]

Can you release any info on how the separate ghost barbs will be priced?

Excellent product.

[evil-98]

Nickel plated what... Nickel plated aluminum or nickel plated steel?

come on eddie... hes talking about the inserts that dont touch any water...

anyways
