Can anyone rate the primochill Typhoon III?

pictures of new T3

[Althulas]

I got this same mail today also, I hope this is really fixed. Now I have to decide on either the faceplate for the T3 or 10 feet of white tubing.....

That's a good jesture on Primochills part and hopefully offered to all. I'll have the face plate.

[Barso]

I feel Brian has really stepped up to the mark here.
I received my 2 replacements and although there are a few rough edges you can really see the improvements they have made.
The pictures above show the glue around the band and I don't know what's happened there but I never had any issues with the old way it had been done.
I have had mine installed and running for over 8 hours and all seems well.
I know that is not long enough but you can really feel the difference.
Brian could have easily chucked the towel in but in my eyes, he didn't.

So has this latest version leaked in anyone's computer yet?
How long does it usually take for T3 to crack and stuff? )

[Captain_Harlock]

If it had leaked on anybody in this forum at this point, this thread whould have been lit up with non stop complaints. Its gonna take more time to really know. Mine has been leak teasting all week and will continue for the next several weeks until I finish my case work. No leaks for me. I think that this revision is a safe version, but we have lost the top fill port, have to use those dinky floppy/cd-rom screwsin place of case screws, and no more metal plugs fro the front.

[bobruto]

is your new t3 hard screwed to though?
vibration from the working pump + res being bolted to the case was identified as one of the probable causes of cracking, as far as I remember

[Moto450]

Mine new one has been in three days and no leaks yet YEAAAAAAAAAAAA and NO RUST YET

The story so far is that the original T3 couldnt handle the stress due to the poor quality of the acrylic being used by the manufacturers in China. The theroy now is that since manufacturing has moved to the U.S. and can be better watched with better material and the new mounting system, that the leaks are a thing of the past. So it should be able to handel the stress that you mentioned and not leak. Should being the operative word here.

[bobruto]

indeed it should
this thing is killing me, T3 would allow my WC loop to be so much less of a mess, but there's alot of doubt associated with it

[DTR]

Any news on the T3 Premium??

[F3L1X]

so these fit into an obsidian 800d without modding?, i've seen people cutting the drive bay rails to get them in?

[Barso]

Been running my new one for over 4 days now with no problems.
A definite improvement and much more stable.

[Martinm210]

DB, I don't know what we'd do around here without your sense of humor...

That was hilarious..had me rolling!!

IMHO, its time to give up on injection molding acrylic water cooling parts especially around vibrating fatigue loading pumps... We've seen it fail before....

You have to cut out a set of drive rails.

[Church]

cut/dremel out or bend them back inline with enclosure walls.

~270 hours now, tissue is still dry. I saw signs at about this point with the previous one. It's just sitting in the case though, previously it had been fastened.

well that's a pain in the ass

[Utnorris]

It's not that bad, use a dremel to thin out the material on the bend and then use a set of pliers to bend it back and forth till it snaps off clean. Just be careful that the dremel doesn't get away from you.

yeah i don't think i want to cut up my nice case just for one of these

[the finisher]

I like cutting up nice cases

I saw a install video on Primo's site. They seem to be working hard to fix this.

They are now sending rubber washers to take some stress off the case mounting points. Also talk about changing the pump mounting screws soon.

I'm kinda glad I've drug my feet on my WC projects, when I get a replacement, I'm hoping It's all sorted. Now I got to get another D-5.

[Z Overlord]

Well This topic here sorta is what I want done:

http://www.overclock.net/water-cooli...revamp-my.html

But as for here, I made a topic like months back about the T3 and they were supposed to be fixed by now...

I really want to revamp my loop and make it more clean and easier and the T3 just seems so perfect...except for its failure rate

Any suggestions since OCN is being slow?

[Z Overlord]

sounds good, except for the 800D cutting part

I'm so not messing with that. Hopefully another solution arrives
