Can anyone rate the primochill Typhoon III?

[jab-tech]

I have been speaking with the retailer that suppled my T3 and pump and they have stated that primochill supplied the pump that turned out to be a D4 basic and not the D5 as advertised.
He will be speaking to primochill tomorrow.
Seems Primochill have been a little cheeky and getting rid of old D4 stock.
TUT,TUT primochill.

I received stock of Swiftech MCP 655-B Two weeks ago and on the back they have stamped (lightly) D4 Basic ... From what I remember though the D4 only came in blue and did not have an RPM wire.. So if yours is Black and has an RPM wire you have an MCP 655-B which is the same as a D5 Basic.
I am making an assumption that Laing had a bunch of D4 housings left and used them, I would also make the assumption that any store that recently purchased MCP 655-B will have D4 Basic stamped on the back.

I know that someone had posted they installed this is a Cosmos S. Can someone confirm if the CoolerMaster retention system holds this, or do you have to remove it and use the screws?

I recall seeing at least one also...can't remember where though.

And that ladies and gentleman is as close to an expert opinion as your going to get outside of Laing itself (maybe even including Laing lol).

Thank you.

Yea, and I don't think they confirmed it worked with the retention system or not.

O well, I will ordering it soon I think. I know i can use screws, but was hoping I could use the retention system

Not sure if it is the same as the system in the Stacker 830, but I removed mine since I don't think it was deep enough to get a good grip on it. I removed all of my retention system other than one for the top slot since it has a DVD drive in it. The rest of my bays are radiators and that reservoir, lol.

I think it is. That is what I was wondering, from looking at the photos, it did seem like there might be an issue.

Thanks much.

The T3 only uses the front set of mounting holes. Obviously if it was full depth like a drive and then you mounted the pump...all kinds of issues with long cards etc. Besides, being shorter lets you hide the pump. I have seen images somewhere of a T3 with the slide in type rails mounted to it and from the posters comments it seemed to work.

Not sure which forum and thread it was posted in though.
