Can anyone rate the primochill Typhoon III?

[Ketzer7]

Does anyone have additional info on the top fillport version of the T3?

I tried looking back through the threads and see mention of it, but I couldn't find any pics of it or whatnot. Primochill's site also doesn't have any top fillport specific pics of the T3.

Is it basically another G1/4 threaded port in the top of the T3, like around the area of the inlet ports on the back of the T3?

Just seeing if anyone has a pic or can explain what it looks like and/or if you can see that top fillport from the front.

Been thinking of getting a new T3 with the top port to maybe use one of those aqua computer Tubemeters with it... Just thinking things up

Here it is: http://www.primochill.com/typhoon-ii...-fillport.html

It simply is a fill plug on the top of the unit very similar to the XSPC DDC 5 1/4 bay res. There were some photos posted in here somewhere, but forget what page they were on.

Thanks millertime

Yeah, the Primochill site doesn't have any pictures of the top fill port version, it's just the regular one shown.

I also tried searching this thread and around through some others, and I see lots of posts from BoxGods talking about it, but no pics unfortunately.

It's prolly a wild goose chase anyways, I just got this idea that it might be cool to run a T3 with the Tubemeter in it using the top port for that purpose since I'm probably going to have something in the bay above the T3 that doesn't take up the whole space and so could probably accommodate it.

Anyways, if anyone has a pic of it, much obliged. Thanks.

[millertime359]

Hmmm, i know I saw a pic around here somewhere of it. Geno probably has one saved on his computer. He may be able to post it later.

The T3 as only takes about about half of the bay and IIRC, the fillport was in the forward half so if there is a fan controller or something like that above it, it probably wouldn't work.

[Ketzer7]

Ah, good call

Looking at the regular T3 I have sitting here, I can completely see what you mean. There's no way you could put the top fillport on the rear half of the unit because it would potentially interfere with the rear ports. Not to mention that the front half is actually wider than the rear half, so it would make more sense to put it there.

Yeah, oh well, I think you're right, even with something not to big in the bay above the T3, it still wouldn't work. Oh well. Thanks!

For most people having the top fill port near the front and to one side helps because they just slide it out an inch or so for filling. That said, I make them custom anyway so if you wanted one with the fill port very near the back I can do that also. Can even put it on the bottom if needs be. The reason you could not find pictures in this and other threads is because I posted a video of it actually lol. Don't remember the post number but the port uses the same plug as the ones used on the front, but it is recessed so it fits flush.

Sorry for the delay in answering...I am in mod mode right now so it is eating a lot of my time.

Hi there guys, kinda new here, at least posting (actually first post).

So been reading the post and saw those kick ass faceplates but no mention where to get 'em, (are there avaible here in the US?), got 2 reservoirs and would be a nice touch to the fron panel.

Nice work Boxgods

I like the anodizing color



my question is : hot to use this LED fittings?
I can put the C into B , but it it too loose.

[millertime359]

insert LED into B, (guess you twist it a bit), then flip C over and put wire in slot on C and screw on.

There are also slots on the back of the T3 where the brass threads are located. You can place LED in there and it looks good. I test fitted one and it looked really cool.

No problem, thanks BG. I managed to go back and find the video you mentioned and that helped a lot actually. Gonna order one of those I think from Primo and see if it works out with what I was thinking about. If not I might take you up on that offer to have the extra port placed somewhere else. Have to see. Thanks again.

i think the bitspower' LED fitting easier install and low production cost.

[dingdong555]

JUst a though, would the O-ring from the Typhoon compressions give a full seal on bitspower barbs?

I actually make the ones PrimoChill sells was my point. If you need the hole on top for the port in a special location then when you order a top port from PrimoChill just let them know where you want it.

The One included with the T3 is tool free. The cap top has the wrench for installing the plug into the port, then you flip it over and it holds the LED in place. The spacer A is NOT required for use in the T3 or any product with O ring captivation built in.

Ah, gotcha. Well, I knew you were making them, just didn't realize one could specify exactly where. Thanks again, BG Actually, after viewing your video of the ported one, the spot where the top fill port was in that, seems pretty much fine where it is, I think, for what I want to try. Is that where it's installed by default if you order one without any special instructions on Primo's site?

This thread rocks!, i got almost all questions answered just by going through it.. now i know what size of O-rings to buy (ofcourse where to get them too ) and where to mount the LED's and how to

Here's my question(s):

I have HWlabs GTX 360, T3 (D5 vario), HK3.0 and DD GTX 285 v2 blcoks in SLI
1. what will be optimum loop for these components
2 . will it make a difference if i run SLI in a separate loop (since i'm using only one RAD)

[Vapor]

HK3.0 in one subloop, everything else in the rest

Should get ~1.8-2GPM in both subloops

[meanmoe]

Anybody got dimensions on this thing with D5 installed?

Also, more pics!@

[BoxGods]

complete dims and files of it in SW and Sketch UP are at PrimoChills site.

[BoxGods]

The top fill port is just about in the spot shown in the video but maybe 1/4 to 3/8" (10 to 12 mm) closer to the left side as seen from the front.
