Can anyone rate the primochill Typhoon III?

[the finisher]

I have been water-cooling long enough to have lost hardware here and there. If you can't joke around about it you should go to air-cooling.

What is there to take issue with (with regard to my statements)? Customers spent money on a faulty product which has no forseable fix. Many of them might no have the means to go buy a replacement part. They should be entitled to a full refund and in short order. That is just good customer service.

I wasn't taking issue with your statements regarding refunds at all!
It's just that I've already been air cooling for years. Also, if I screw up, have a mishap, and loose hardware, that's my fault. At some point that may happen, that's the risk we all take. I'm more than willing to make fun of myself if it does

However, as you state above, that's not the issue with the T3.

I'll have funds to get another reservoir or 2 soon, but of coarse there is nothing like the D-5 pump top/reservoir, Geno designed, on the market anyway. IMHO this is truly an innovative idea. I hope Geno can get a reliable rev. 2 to market before the copy's inevitably show up.

On the same subject, I've done some research on blow molded plastics. Geno's assertion that annealing the parts after machining + the proper mix of additives in the plastic, would have avoided this train wreck altogether. This is accurate IMHO. Cutting production corners on such a critical component as this, is a dumba** move!

http://www.eastcoastmfg.com/plastic_annealing.htm-"Screw threads are a feature in a plastic component that benefits from annealing. Part failure can occur since the screw places a steady long-term stress on the component in combination with the residual stress from the machining process. Annealing the part reduces the machining stress at the threads and in most cases, the screw stress alone is not normally enough to cause part failure."
