    Question Not yet installed, & very concerned.

    - One Long size which are intended for users using acrylic cases with thicker side panels
    - Fatter Orings for current Ghost and Ghost Compression users to enable a better seal

    As for the mounting bracket, we are switching out users that received the Phillips head M4 screws and thinner acrylic mount to the revision 2.

    Revision 2 is a 3/8 acrylic mounting bracket and M4 Allen Head Screws w/ wrench.

    If you have the first version of the Mounting System (Phillips Head) please contact us and we will switch you out to the rev2 version. This is only for users experiencing issues.

    Please contact us at t3rma at primochill.com

    From Everyone at PrimoChill we appreciate your patience during this transition to USA Made T3's. We are working hard everyday to insure that we can delivery the best possible product to you all.

    Again, thank you.
    Hey, my first post! Glad to be here. Wish it was about a different subject

    I bought a T3 at the end of Sept. directly from Primo. I got all the extras I could, $106 +ship.
    With work,family, and cash flow I'm only now getting to my new build.

    First off, I've spent the last 2 days free time reading about the failures of the T3, catching up on this thread & others. I'm glad the issues are being resolved, however I'm a little confused about replacement parts, and the conditions to receive them.
    From everything I've read on the internet, I have no confidence I can install this in the build configuration I had in mind. I would need to run it on the bench for 2 weeks minimum, before I could trust it. And ultimately I'll never trust this not to crack and leak
    I'm new to watercooling, but I've collected a bunch of really cool parts, this was one of my favorites, because of all that's good about the T3 design.

    [Thanks Box Gods, I know it's been a rough road, but I think it's a good design, with some obvious bugs.
    Dam cheap materials/incompetent suppliers.
    Although you need to pay close attention to balancing the flow of the parallel loops, & not to over rpm the pump in a low restriction system, IMHO. But I knew that going in, as I followed this thread from the start. Probably the most controversial product since I've been in the hobby. Still it offers a unique solution for those able to think in parallel. Absolutely want a delrin version, in red/black]

    Back to the original intent of this post. Are we expected to run these till they fail, to get the piece of mind of a US made T3? I think you should ofter replacement to all questionable T3's. There is no way I can trust this with my new i7,Classified,SSD's,HDD's, etc...
    Also, others who have received replacements have reported not getting the top fill port they paid for. Why? This is a make or break feature for me, as I can't flip the case on its back to fill or service.

    Part of the warranty should be to get a reliable product, with the extras we paid for. If it's about time, I'll be happy to wait, as I understand & sympathize with your predicament.

    I look forward to more cool products from Primochill, and I have not yet requested a RMA, but would like the official policy, more clear.

    Thanks
