After three years of evolutionary development and building on the foundation of the original and extremely popular Typhoon, PrimoChill has taken a revolutionary leap forward with the introduction of the Typhoon III Reservoir System--proof positive the third time really is the charm. Designed by a pro case modder FOR case modders, Typhoon III is the perfect marriage of performance, reliability, ease of installation, and day-to-day usability with a huge helping of "modability" added to the mix. The heart of that performance is the most popular and reliable DC pump on the planet--the D5--which we mated to the easiest to install and easiest to fill and bleed reservoir ever made. It doesn't matter if you're just starting on your first modding adventure, or if the word hardcore bounces off of you like a cotton ball--Typhoon III is the best Pump and Reservoir choice you will ever make.

Note: Typhoon III Reservoir System - PEC has a 3-year limited warranty. Use of cooling fluids that contain Ethylene Glycol or any other harsh chemicals void the warranty for this product.

Laing D5 / MCP655 pump shown in pictures is NOT included with this product and available in the options below!

Fill/Bleed Trap

• Located in the front is an overflow basin where two recessed G1/4 tapped holes are ready for filling and draining operations. The inside of the reservoir has a domed shape that eliminates trapped air spaces completely--allowing you to easily and safely fill the reservoir and your cooling loop 100% full. To fill the system initially or to bleed off trapped air, simply roll the case onto its back which makes the reservoir the highest point in the loop and remove the plugs and fill. Because there are TWO plugs, any displaced air can easily escape. Periodically repeat the procedure to remove any trapped air that may accumulate in the reservoir from your loops. Users wanting to drain the loop can easily do so by tilting the case onto its face--making the reservoir the lowest point in the loop.
• Because the drain holes are threaded G ¼, you can also add a temporary fitting and a length of scrap tubing running to a bucket. Again, because of the domed inner surface, users can drain the loop 100% dry which is helpful for flushing any accumulated particulates.

Pump Expansion Chamber (PEC)

• This version of the Typhoon III reservoir system features TWO outlet ports and TWO inlet ports allowing two discrete loops on the same reservoir, pump, and radiator without the use of additional manifolds or “Y’s” / “T’s” which can decrease efficiency in the loop/s. The pump housing features a full 360 degree deep-draw helix with an oversized (nearly double the stock D5) primary outlet that feeds an expansion chamber to decrease any pressure drop. The back of the housing is optimized for the dual bay upright mounting position so that water is spun up by a spiral structure that is humped (we buy it dinner first =) and ends in a very sharp edge at the inlet terminus which feeds water into the impeller at a decreased angle that lowers motor loading.
• We stole a page from the new breed of fans currently in use in the air cooling segment by focusing on efficiency over the brute force approach of the past. What this means is that rather than spinning the same fans faster and faster to increase airflow, they began making lower RPM fans that are more efficient--and quieter. How this translates to water cooling and the Typhoon III is that we focused on a more efficient use of the excellent D5 by allowing users to choose a single or dual loop configuration that eliminates all of those flow choking “Y’s”, “T’s”, and manifolds that kill performance. Dual loops that are less restricted also allow you to avoid pumping preheated water from one component into the next one on your loop. Another advantage of this common sense focus on improving efficiency is a much more attractive installation that also improves airflow inside your case by eliminating a lot of clutter.

True Dual Bay

• This is the ONLY Dual Bay reservoir you can install and never have to move or unscrew to fill or bleed your system. This enables you to run the perfect amount of tubing without having to run extra to let you pull the reservoir out to fill (Smart!!). These two bays are the ONLY solution for your water cooling loop with all four ports facing directly rearward, so there is no need to compensate for one or more bays above or below the reservoir to allow for a turning radius on your tubing.

This res is just phenominal. It does protrude out a little on the front but if you know how to use a drill or dremel the issue can be fixed easily. The only issue I had was there were no instructions with it but still it is a awesome and fun reservoir to setup and look at. As Always Frozencpu shipped fast as all get out. Check mine out at Techpowerup.com.

I bought this thinking it would work great but in my case, I could only put screws in one side and even then, it juts out of the front of the case like an eyesore. I even bought the coverplate hoping it would help but it just looks so out of place. It will be collecting dust now and I will go with the XSPC I think.

The supplied screws for mounting are too short for my sunbeam acrylic case. Went to Home Depot and Ace Hardware and they didn''t have the right screws. I tried calling Primochill but their number is not serviceable, so I filed a ticked at their support page and still haven''t heard back.

I bought this two weeks ago and I liked it a lot until three days ago when is started leaking from every where. I used Fluid XP for coolant. I callde Primochill and I inquired about it, I spoke to Brian at primochill and he said it was OK to use. Well, this thing is garbage, the concept is good but the material is made of is not (polycarbonate-Acrylic. Anyways, stay away from this thing or you''ll have a lot of headaches. i hope you are listening Frozen CPU.

I installed this reservoir couple of days ago and is working as expected, nice!. The only draw back is the fact that I can''t use it with Feser One. According to Primochill any fluids that contain Ethylene Glycol will void its warranty. I also called them and they told me that any fluids that contain Ethylene Glycol will damage the plastic the reservoir is made of. Within a week it will start leaking. So I decided to use Fluid XP Ultra. It is not as good as Feser one. It really sucks!. Other than that, the Typhoon III is a great product, but it would''ve been even better if it can be use with Feser One. Too bad.
