Ok cool, well nobody else will, so there is really no point in Linus wasting his time to review it.

If you're going to waste your money on this anyway then why would you care about a review in the first place.

because I trust Linus's opinion and since it is expensive I want to know if it works if I end up buying it then ill tell you how it goes, however, I don't have that kind of money nor do I know anyone that would want it besides me and since I'm trying to do an extreme build for personal use then I just want to go balls to the wall so to speak.

You want Linus to buy and invest man hours into reviewing this product just so you can make a purchasing decision?

Wrong forum, ask somewhere else. Might want to check if you're in the wrong realm while you're at it.

I'm from earth realm thank you for asking (mortal combat joke) and I do this with any purchasing decision I look up reviews since I don't have tons of money asking if he can review something isn't a bad or stupid question if he chooses not to do it he just won't do it because it was just a suggestion

If you don't have the money it's always a bad idea to purchase something to do something you could do yourself almost for free.

Since that thing only is useful for changing the fluid loop, it does make sense that you first don't need it, then that you won't use it that often anyway to warrant the price, and finally it won't even make your build better/ better looking since it's an accessory, so it doesn't make sense for your needs.

That kind of thing would be useful and worth it if you'd build or repair 5 to 10 watercooled pc's a day since it would save you enough time to squeeze in another pc in your repairing schedule. Then the return on investment would probably be around a month or two of work with it.

so I thought about that too but Changing out fluid can be a chore no one wants so what I thought about doing is getting a TT 900 case and butting this in the back as well as a chiller s that it is still all one unit is there anything that can basically do the same thing with a smaller form factor then or has a less price because I do just basically want it for convenience and maintenance for whenever I want to change fluids

"I don't have that kind of money"

*wants to spend $1200 USD on an external pump and reservoir*

What happened to logic and reason??

 

Image result for facepalm

 

If you use good quality fluid you can go for years without changing it.

If you want to make changing it easier then add a fill port and drain valve to your loop, then it takes minutes to change the fluid.

There is literally ZERO need for an external pump and res that is overpriced by 10x.

ok then let me explain further I don't have the money to just spend on something that may or may not work now can you please stop with the negativity I did nothing but ask for a possible review I did nothing to you so I don't know why you have a problem in the first place and why your just choosing to be mean about it.

Well I mean it's just a pump and res... why would it not work...

 

The question is WHY would you spend that much money on something that is useless.

 

I don't have a problem if you want to waste $1200 on a pump and res when you could literally just use a fill and drain port, I'm trying to explain to you why it is a waste of money.

 

It isn't my money after all.

What cleaning are you talking about...

 

If you have a fill and drain port, you just put a bucket at the bottom and open both ports and let the fluid come out.

Then (if you're changing the colour) you run a bit of distilled water through, and fill it up with new fluid.

This is how everyone, including extreme system builders, refills their loop.

 

There is literally no need for an external pump and res, much less a $1200 one xD

That just overcomplicates things even more.
