Can anyone rate the primochill Typhoon III?

[Manicdan]

i got mine back in august, this weekend i turned up the pump to full speed and saw it pulling in air bubbles from one of the screw holes for the pump cover plate. more inspection showed a slight crack, i might fix it later with some fish tank silicon glue, but it will never go in the case again.

So was looking forward to getting a T3. Been waiting for my tax return to finish out my loop and thought a t3 would fit nicely. But it seems there's been a pseudo recall on T3's.

Yet i hear there is hope with a Delrin T3....any ETA on this?

In case the Delrin T3 is months out can anyone recommend an alternate dual bay res?

Why would you even consider buying anything from Primo after this?

If you want this form factor, as I do. Wait, other company's will have something very much like this relatively soon. Not in acrylic.

Well my T3 is almost 4 months old so far no cracking, I guess you could call that a Success Story LOL

I just hope it stays that way until the New Delrin T3's come out because I will buy one as soon as they are out.

That's good to know, any more story's of non failure?

I've posted a few times here about mine. Must of got lost in the mix of all the T3 threads.

Mine is still running fine, I got one of the yellow band ones and that was replaced as soon as the clear bond ones came out on an RMA.

I'll be replacing it though, as I prefer not to take the chance. If BG gets the delrin version out, I will probably get that, If not I was looking at EK's dual D5 top as a possibility.

That's exactly what I did, FrozenCPU has the white derlin model for $56. It's sexy by the way.

No, no recall, or pseudo recall, that's my issue. From everything I gather, the official policy is replacement on failure.

And what of the hardware that goes with it?

It would be great if T3 owners would post there experience's here. I have heard alot of stories of fail. Not many about success. Doen't mean there arn't any, but haven't heard many.

Obviously stories of woe, will get more attention. And people who feel ripped off, are going to make more noise.

It's useful to learn about others experiences,[good & bad] as now that's the only info on this fine product.
Of course what would realy be nice is if, the Guy who sold these, would comment on the situation/solutions here. He knows it's here, either ignoring,or just doesn't care.

Bought mine when they were released and is still running fine pretty much 24/7

Haven't used any of the supplied screws tho, used M3 screws instead of M3,5 and they are just there to hold it in place a bit since it's resting on my DVD Drive.

That's good to hear. Geno had posted about how he beat on the protos, and first runs. Surly the Chinese shop royally screwed up some of these batches. But which ones.

Maybe put a rubber mat on that drive

Mine has been purring along for several months now (I don't recall how long). The only problem I have had was with those crappy nylon fittings. ALL of them eventually broke. Fortunately my res is on the bottom of the case so nothing was harmed by the gushing water.
I still have no cracks, no crazes, no problems.

Thanks for the update

Glad to see people are not having problems.
Just pulled out my 4th T3 due to leaking from pump bracket.
The T3 was cracking again at the screw holes for the pump bracket.
They were not overtighened and still cannot get Brian at primochill.
All have leaked at this point and all 4 are sitting gathering dust.
I have ordered a XSPC-750-BPUMP as a standby until this is sorted.
I either want my money back or some sort of compensation.
It seems that once it cracks , no matter how small, they just spread out like wildfire until it leaks.
Primochill SORT IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't bother with repair, once cracking begins, it won't stop.

Thinking about how to acquire a great many of the failed ones, shouldn't cost much, just shipping.

Maybe mod a special computer case out of them for illustrative purpose's
