Good Flow Sensor/Temperature Probe/ Fan Controller Set-Up

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a flow sensor that can read rates up to 1200Lph, a good temperature sensor so I can monitor water temperatures in at least a couple places throughout my loop, and a fan controller that they will both work with, preferably a single 5.25" bay controller. Anyone have any suggestions?

Oh nice, it says it can be mounted in a free motherboard slot but it doesn't specify anywhere I can find what kind of motherboard slot it is. Would I be able to mount it on my motherboard? I have 1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x8 mode), 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1, and 1 x PCI free.

I do not know of a fan controller that does that but i do know that one company make a pump, controller etc all built into one that goes off the pumps information it will send out. It also is software controlled so as soon as i am in a place where i am able to look that up i will.

Looking at the board I suspect it doesn't make any electrical connection via the slot which makes sense and if it doesn't fit into a PCI slot it must fit into a PCI-E because there's no alternative on modern motherboards.

I don't suppose it would be possible to mount it into an expansion slot below the bottom of my motherboard, because I have an Sabertooth X79 (ATX motherboard) in the Cosmos II case, so I have a bunch of slots off the bottom of my motherboard :lol:

If you look at the additional photographs it comes with a mounting plate so you can put it in a 5.25" drive bay. Would that help?

Personally I'd rather use up a expansion slot that I can't even use due to my motherboard configuration than use up one of the only three 5.25" drive bays I have ;)

You'd probably get it in one of those expansion slots. I'm certain you would if you were prepared to get out the dremel. :lol:

 

.. and who uses three 5.25" bays these days? ;)

I do :lol:

 

I have a dual 5.25" bay reservoir for two Laing D5's, then a Blu-Ray burner :P
