I've written to the shop with the mail, but still no answer yet, so iI've decided to write on the forums. Here is the copy of the message but with some updated info (fixed some errors expecially about pump electronics):

I already own Aquaero 5 Pro (havent configured it yet, though, waiting for other parts ) and I've been interested in flow sensor for my water cooling setup.

I see you got two types of sensors in the online store:

1. high flow http://shop.aquacomputer.de/product_info…roducts_id=2294
2. the pressure based modules http://shop.aquacomputer.de/product_info…roducts_id=2898

The second states there are various models depending on the flow in the setup, so there is a 100/200/400 liters per hour.

The problem I have - how to estimate the current flow I have in my build?



Here is my build, that may help in estimation:

Going from the pump with the flow:

1. LAING DDC-1T + DIYINHK DDC Pump Toshiba PCB http://martinsliquidlab.org/2011/04/14/d…-ddc-pump-mods/ - with speed variated using the rotary knob

2. GFX - GTX680 = EKWB FC-680 Plexi

3. MotherBoard = EKWB X58 motherboard cooling

4. CPU = EKWB Supreme HF + high flow plate

5. MOSFETS = 2x EKWB X58 MOSFET

6. Rad = Switfech 320 slim

7. Res = EKWB Multioption 250



Fittings: SM10/16 = G1/4

Tubing: Tygon R3603 9,5/15,9 mm

I'm more interested in MPS sensors, because as stated, they also can report temperature.
As I read a bit about that pump, it can hit around 150 liters/hour in the similiar setup, so looks like MPS flow 200 should be suitable for my setup.


Any recommendations much appreciated.

Got offcial mail from the AquaComputer (I believe it's from Sven itself ;D ) - they reported that I should stick to 200 model because of the power the pump has.

I was also doing some searching over the internet with similar water builds and seems like that is the best option.

Status update:

Swiftech MCP 355 (LAing DDC 1T) + EKWB Top
GTX 680 full cover
EKWB Asus X58 for chipset
EKWB Supremacy with 1366 jet plate for better flow
2x MOSFET
Phobya 420 Fat
MPS 200 - flow sensor
Phobya balancer reservioir.


The pump on 90% of Aquaero power generates flow hitting the sensor limit.
Yet it is then quite loud and moreover it generates a lot of heat, so I've decreased the power to around 70% and the flow meter works flawlessly. Moreover the pump is not generating so much heat, but then the Aquaero is getting hot, so I had to adjust air flow

Will have to test the lowest speed settings, so stay tuned.

Thanks for the help!
