Can anyone rate the primochill Typhoon III?

is this the GOD of all watercooling? I dont understand you guys are way too technical for me

No worries man, I don't understand it all either. I look at it like this: You don't need to understand every single thing about pheromones, reproduction, genetics, natural selection, and biology to know kissing a beautiful woman is a great way to spend your time =)

it seems like 13 pages of something I see one guy comlaining about tape on it then I see others talking about two loops.....

Seems you got the majority of what was going on

That is why I am confused here, I read all the talk of parrellel loops being insignificant and essentially that is all this is, is parallel loops. Initially I was thinking of getting rid of my DDC 3.2 and getting this res and a d5 but in all actuality now I think I would be worse off if I did that.

It just seems confusing as if the T3 is some revolutionary new thing but in all reality the breakthrough here is likely parrallel loops not the T3. Seems like same thing is going to happen if you just have a pump top with two outlets or a pump top with a y on the outlet?

The T3 is a major step for our loops, what product has been released in the last couple years that provided this much of an advancement? I can't think of anything that comes this close.

The whole concept is confusing, mostly because we've had the idea that parallel is bad, mom using your full including middle name bad. Look at the several threads that were major technical discussions when parallel GPU block configs started popping up...people went bat crazy.

I won't begin to say I know the numbers behind the design or the formulas like Vapor does, he has the big brain around skinnee labs...me, just the squirrel sized gray matter. Vapor and Geno both have as firm an understanding on the numbers as anyone. You didn't see my frantic run up the stairs when the first numbers popped up on testing...it was like my hair was on fire. My thoughts were along the lines of I really fubar'd something, this can't be right.

Anyways loking forward to the results, It's all kind of confusing at first but I think I am starting to get the jist of it now Hopefully Skinnee will have temps to go along with his numbers.

Cheers!

These numbers are pretty insane. Question though, will it make a real world measurable difference in temps of the components being cooled? Not hating, just curious?

I wish there was time before the review deadline, but I'm already on thin ice for taking as long as I have.

However, I feel its not needed. Look at the testing Vapor has done on flow dependence for blocks, some blocks scale very well with increased flow while others are not. Its no secret that when flow increases through a radiator (to a point) the cooling performance will increase, as to what scale factor, that has not been determined.

A long time to never I am afraid. Comes down to cost for the most part. The tooling for the fittings would pay for a nice car. Added to that is the other matched fitting parts that are coming so that there is a FULL line of big radius T's, Y's, Elbow's, flow wheels, Bulkhead pass thru's etc.







The tooling for just one size is I would guess North of 25K

DarthBeavis has been telling people, Geno's designs are solid. Another thing you guys need to remember is Geno is one of us...he's a modder first so if there is a part he is designing such as the fittings above, you know the design will be sound.

Now when can I get a hold of some of those T's and Y's? I need some more T's!!!

I haven't had time for much modding lately =(

I do have to get a build done for the nVidia booth at Quake Con though and then there is the nVidia ION mod contest I am participating in. If your interested in submitting a design for an ION based mod...hit the link

Speaking of T's, there will be two. A high flow true T and a through T that you would use for things like fill port lines where you only need a branch to top off with etc.
