    I can confirm that the crack in the front is not an actual crack.
    When the res is filled it really does disappear.
    I put a black T3 faceplate on and it is now fully gone.
    Just like magic.
    For me the molding imperfection was a tiny complaint on an amazing product.

    ok boxgods trying for rma called frozen cpu , they said for faster service to call Brian at primochill, so hopefully he can help me out ... luckily i didn't epoxy.... just didn't want my main pc out another 2 weeks it good to hear they're changing out the screws for nylon ones , but I had to use 2 way tape cause of the position of the screws and yea one rail definitely lets it rotate a bit but once i put in the cdroms she locks in , the back piece is the 1/4 but it was pretty sturdy and held my swiftech pump great .... all and all this reservoir was a bit of a problem , but after i heard it running I was amazed at how well it worked , hopefully if I can get a another one Ill have my confidence back in it

    Yeah thats best. I am not saying you couldn't fix it or w/e skill wise, just that A: you should not have too, and B: if you DID pooch it lol...

    I already spoke with Brian this AM to let him know and he was already aware of it so you must have made contact already. I Also think have two different lengths of NYLON screws will help for several reasons. Without using a torque wrench "over tightening" is pretty relative. It WILL happen and it is not really the end users fault unless its extreme. They will also dampen vibrations a little. Having the longer screws for Acrylic cases and those that have rails included will help too.

    I got my T3 a or so week ago. No cracks, no leaks (except when I tried using a bp barb without an extra o-ring). I did noticed the mold imperfection barely, but like everyone says, it's not visible when filled.

    I thought I'd post because they left out an LED plug. I sent an email and a few days later there was a little manila envelop in my mailbox with 1 plug in it. I laughed. One LED didn't work either, but I think it may be my fault and can be fixed.

    So to stay with the topic... The T3 is beautiful and primochill was incredibly easy to deal with. thanks.
    upgrading...

    Hey boxgod thanks for looking out and giving brian the heads up speaking with him and letting him know . he said he will have a new one out shipped out to me next week soon as they get in stock , so maybe i get lucky and get one from a newer batch wooohoooooo

    So to stay with the topic... The T3 is beautiful and primochill was incredibly easy to deal with. thanks.
    I agree the T3 is very quality like, and up to now the most sensible wc part to date , that makes having a pump reservoir system look and perform great at the same time , and wow getting water in and air out was super easy and draining it was just as much a pleasure, finally water cooling getting just a bit easier , but like every first run of everything you gotta work out the kinks , and thanks to people like Brian over at primochill for helping out with these problems

    Am I the only guy on earth that can't take awesome pictures? Install looks amazing! Do those pictures remind anyone else of some science fiction movie or TV show? When I looked at them I thought "wow, those really remind me of...and it was gone. Kinda Blade Runner looking but that was not it. Saturn 13?

    If you don't get the other one working let me know...I have cases and cases of those pigtailed LED's here in the shop.

    Thank all of you guys for taking the time to post. Was a tough day (this latest revision of the new CPU block is kicking my A$$ ) and seeing positive messages helped a bunch.

    Thanks,

    I am not sure if I have air left in my system or it is coming in from anywhere, I can not find any leaks but every couple days I will come home and find a quarter size bubble at the top of the rez, I will burp it and then watch. I can not figure out if it is just air trapped in the system or not, I do not think it should be since I do not even see any micro bubbles right now.
    Anyone else have an idea of what i should be looking for?
