damnit...

Mine is still dry, but I've got it very-soft mounted (<<10Hz). What setting were you running the d5 at? I was right at the point of having enough confidence in it to take it out of my bench setup and put it back in a case. How did you have it mounted?

DB, how did the t3 in the green nvidia case pictured on the cover of cpu mag hold up?

that was a Danger Den res. I have a Typhoon III in my Skulltrail server at the clinic that is not leaking but it looks like it has a couple small cracks on the top screws. I have a DD res to replace it when I have time to do so.

Yep, mine is the same way. I started to really look at it when I pulled it out after my PrimoChill fitting broke on me. (Pretty certain that was partly my fault as it seemed I did tighten it a bit too much. )

I can see cracks forming around the screws myself. The res still didn't leak at least. It probably would have sooner or later though.

Well, guess I will wait a bit longer and see what happens. I was thinking of RMA'ing it, but if they are still having issues I may just end up trashing it.

After seeing stock at my favorite e-tailer.... (and thinking issues are behind us -also it must be a rev-A) I ordered and installed 4 days ago...Still running my rig sitting in a huge casserole dish in the event of any leaks...but so far so good.

I have some other issues like I'm surprised at the weld joint - looks amateurish (uneven and lots of bubbles in it) but you can't see that when mounted in the case - so not sure how much of a issue this is.

Looks like a well thought out design...just the materials and/or manufacturing.

4 days isn't enough time to make a statement....but not a drop anywhere - love the design I have to say.

Where is the premium version made of the same delrin material that the split window version is made from?

Geno never sold that design to Primochill so they won't be making it, the last I heard, Geno was still planing on shopping the design to other companies.

My bad - wrong acrylic bay res ... I had the magazine sitting in my living room. My son ripped the cover before I got a chance to really see it (w/o the rip). The skulltrail would be a terrible thing to lose.

Like I said. The tissue under mine (rev.A) is still dry, ~460hrs now. And as far as I can tell, no cracks. It's a very very soft mount, distilled + 1/10th dose of utopia (it's all I had after all the leaking, and replacing).

I want this to be it. I love looking at it... with the black facplate, little white led, and gentle hum of the D5... Mmmm sex.

EDIT: I run between setting 2 and 3. 3 is really too noisy for me open-air.

I keep hearing it is Vibrations from the Pump, so I used little glue backed FELT TABS on the bottom of my res to dampen the vibrations and so far both the original and the rev A have not cracked on me. But the first one did rust out on the fill port screws. The Rev A has plastic fill port screws so no rust and thats one step forward.

I don't know if the felt pads will help, but I know they won't hurt either and I can't feel much in the way of vibration either.

I have placed my bluray drive under my T3 and sandwiched a sheet of bubblewrap covered in felt between the two and no problems at all.
The bluray drive is now supporting the T3 and pump.
Before The T3 and pump were only supported by the screws at the side.
I think not having the T3 use the case rails in my cosmos s have affected the stability of it.
Excessive I know but necessary.
No cracks or leaks yet!
