Testing proves that in a serial loop configuration the T3 moves a significantly larger amount of water, so they said well the other tops would do just as well if you bought a reservoir and Y's. Even doing that the T3 puts out more flow by a significant amount. So then they switch to the argument that it is not a TRUE dual loop but rather a parallel loop and that a true dual loop is a lot better. When users who had true dual loops (2 pumps) posted that they swapped in a T3 (with only one pump) their temps held.

    Then the argument was that adding the flow of the two loops together is not accurate, even though it was listed as total system flow. If you average the loops T3 STILL moves a lot more water. Now they are saying the single loop performance is not as good as other tops. It IS in the hunt though and earlier they said that the HUGE gains in flow were irrelevant as flow doesn't matter that much...yet some how the relatively small difference in flow in the single loop DOES matter all of a sudden?

    After all that I feel pretty good about the design because the T3 can obviously take a punch (and even the cheap shots) and is getting people excited and looking for different ways to do things, which is what water cooling is really all about =)

    No word from Rocky on the face plate renders yet. Will post em as soon as they are done.
    It did get hyped up a little bit too. Even though the hype was just regarding flow, people read into it as it would distractly improve temps. Therefore, it seems they are looking for anyway to shoot it down.

    It is a great option to have out there though, plan and simple. Is it for everyone, no.

    Once again, great work BoxGods. I am looking forward to seeing those renderings when you get them

    Or Trill Parallel LoL. Course if your not a Deep Space Nine fan the DAX reference is lost.

    Differential Parallel Loops.
