    LOL....

    I'd consider taking that replacement off you for a discount (jedi mind trick )...

    But I already have sitting on my desk:
    Swifttech 655 pump
    Primochill 1/2" Clear & UV Blue Tubing
    Swiftech dual rad's (x2) perfect for the Cooler Master 690 II Advanced case [wish it looked like a Lian Li sweetness]
    Swiftech XT apogee CPU water block
    4 x 1Tb Seagate drives looking for raid 5 home
    Intel Q9550
    Gigabyte EP45-UD3P MB

    Still looking for a ATI 5870 (x2) and matching EK waterblocks.

    Just missing the damn reservoir

    I got 2 replacement T3 from primochill and congrats for Brian getting them to me but both are leaking from the bottom left pump bracket screw hole on the T3.
    It seems the T3 is cracking around that hole after 3 days use and the coolant is escaping from the tiny cracks.
    I don't know if it's pump vibration or pump weight but that's what's happening.
    One T3 is wrapped in bubble wrap waiting for confirmation from Primochill to post it back and the other is in my setup with kitchen roll underneath it catching the leaking fluid as I need my PC for use.
    So goodbye to the T3 and can someone recommend the next best reservoir not from primochill that I can buy for my setup that will still use my D5 pump?

    I am using the Koolance D5 pump/res combo in my Brimstone build.

    Thanks for the reply DB.
    What accessories would I need to go with that res?
    I will have to walk away from the T3, as much as I love it, I just don't have any confidence in it anymore.

    you buy it alacart so you buy the resevoir/pump base then choose the size tube then choose a top for it. I set it up last night in a test loop with the input going into the top of the res and was amazed at the flow. I might run it that way even with the turbulence as it looks cool. I know it is the wrong way but sometimes you have to get mavericky with it.
