Can anyone rate the primochill Typhoon III?

@BoxGods:

One thing I'm still not sure about.

If I were to run two loops with one pump from the T3 and used one loop as radiator-only, how close would the two loops have to be in restriction for it to work? I'm thinking for example running one loop with just a swiftech MCR320, and the other loop with a MCW60 and HK 3.0 LC. Can you say anything about if this would work or do i have to wait for some test for that kind of stuff?

With those components, just go single loop in serial...you'll still get good flowrates (over 1.5GPM) and there's really no way to break up those 3 components into 2 loops that gives more flow to the CPU block.

I have accidently connected the reservoir to pump the water through my RAD and then through the outlet and then the inlet of my Swiftech GTZ and then back into the reservoir.
Do I really need to swap the tubes around or will I see no difference?
Thanks and loving the typhoon III

Sorry for bumping this up the queue.

I'm looking for more flow through the radiator. As you say yourself flowrate through those blocks doesn't matter much as long as it's > 1.5GPM. If i could raise the flowrate in the radiator this way from say 1.5GPM (seriel) to 2.0GPM (Radiator only loop) that would make a difference in cooling though.

Agreed. For the most part to run two loops with the radiator on one loop you want it to either be a pretty restrictive dual 120 (think the old school models or a monster type) or a triple or quad 120 model of the newer models.

That is not to say that if aesthetics with 2 loops works better for your build you can't run two with acceptable performance.

I have also seen good results in my unofficial testing using multiple radiators in different combination.

Utnorris is correct in mentioning that a key thing to remember is that at nearly 16 exchanges a minute with all the turbulence you get from the twin inlets into the reservoir the T3 would make a Cuisinart jealous lol. I tried to make a video with a dye injection into the main reservoir that would illustrate just how fast a water exchange happens, but with a tad less then 4 seconds to get enough dye in to see the change before its gone...can't see much on the video....sorta like this guy
