okay so today on my video blog I'm going to be experimenting with something completely new for me I am going to be shooting it at myself for one thing and for number 2 i'm actually going to try editing something and i'm going to be using Windows Movie Maker and we'll see how epic fail this is but the thing I'm going to be unboxing today is the Primo chill typhoon 3 this is a totally self-indulgent unboxing because I want to see this thing in person it's a water-cooling reservoir so if you're not interested in water cooling turn it off now but if you are stay tuned because this water cooling reservoir actually can have a pump attached directly to it so it is both an aftermarket pump top as well as a res okay so let's get on with this I'm going to open up the plastic here now what's actually really unique about the type in three is that besides being a reservoir which it's a dual Bay reservoir sits in the front of your case it also according to promote chill dramatically improves the performance of your d5 or mcp 655 pump now the way it does this is rather counterintuitive because what it does is it actually allows you to take your pump and split it so that it can run two separate loops at the same time so I'll explain how that works in a minute but first let's have a look at what's included first of all you got a couple of LEDs here with a molex powered connector I not sure what color they are but there they are they're actually black wires which is really nice to see because they're a lot easier to hide then then white ones are red and yellow ones or whatever else we have some of these clear compression fittings and these are not something that I think I'd really use myself but there they are there there if you want to use them i think it comes with half inch or three-eighths inch and then let's see what do we have here here are four mounting screws okay we got some mounting screws awesome and then we also have some stop fittings and you get both metal and plastic options for these so it comes with a couple of plateau stops as well as some plastic stuff now for stop fittings I have no problem using a plastic one oh yeah you can see the plastic ones are actually set up to the LED inside so that's where you do your lighting from okay that's pretty cool all right let's see what else we got in here for accessories we've got yes these were the three-eighths compressions and then you have four half inch compression fittings again the plastic chemo chill ones ok here is the mounting hardware for mounting the mCP 655 or d5 pump on to the res itself you got a nice big o ring you got some heavy-duty looking screws as well as they include the allen key that you need that's really nice because I mean who keeps allen keys of every particular size around at all times I mean I do but not everyone does so let's take the typhoon 3 out of its protective phony wrapping here it's kind of wake up sort of a random packing job that's done but it looks protective enough and there's a nice big layer of of nothing around this product so it won't get damaged in transit so here is what the typhoon 3 will look like from the front of the case now you can see these group this groove down the middle of it that is actually for filling it the way the typhoon three works is once you've got your loop all set up you actually pour water into this groove in the top it goes down the two holes on the front and then you actually use the metal fittings to stop up those holes so you'd have to tip the system back onto its back in order to fill it it's a little bit inconvenient from what I've heard but it's a very effective way of doing it and maintaining that sleek look so that you don't have to pull stuff out of the front i think it was also a bit of a manufacturing limitation that's the best way that they were able to do it without making it so that you couldn't push the reservoir in and out because you had that fittings on the top now here we go this is the back so this is where the d5 or MTP 655 pump goes in and you can see they thought they've engineered the way that the pump is actually going to be moving the water around and the reason that they've done that is this okay you see you've got two outlets and two inlets so that means you can actually run two separate loops off one pump and the way that they achieve that is by the efficient see they're able to achieve with this top and with so little restriction because that's what this does it reduces the restriction they're able to make the pump perform more efficiently just by using the typhoon 3 so you've got threaded metal metal receptacles for the pump screws those heavy duty ones I showed you before that go in here and I think that pretty much wraps up my quick look at the dual five and a quarter inch Bay reservoir thank you for checking out my video blog
