I see there are quite a few different flow rate sensors, how do I determine which one I need for my build?

MPS 100
MPS 200
MPS 400

Or one of these "High Flow" models? I'm not sure the difference between these two?

I plan on getting an Aquaero 6 XT if it makes any difference.

Thanks.

Hmm. I don't know the answer to either of those questions, mechanical or by pressure or how much flow my system can produce.

I do plan on having a AE6 XT & 2 D5 pumps if that helps me narrow the selection down at all?

Is this something I can just get the highest flow rate and be safe if I don't use all its capability, or does it really need to be sized pretty accurately?

Zitat von »Jakusonfire«

Either of the two mechanical models can be used in any loop because of the very broad working range. Of the pressure models only the 400 makes real sense because any loop should easily be over 80lph and most will Max out a 200 model.

Ok so since I plan on having an AE6 XT in my setup, I would opt for the mechanical model that requires the AE6.

Which is this one correct: http://www.performance-pcs.com/aquacompu…oweradjust.html

Is there any real difference between that one & the MPS 400 model as far as performance or ability? I'm just not sure which one to choose over the other between those two?

What does an electronic flow meter really do for a loop, just tell you gallons per hour running through your loop? I'm going to also have a visual flow meter by Primochill in the system for function & looks, but trying to figure out the real benefits of one of these electronic ones that link to an AE6.

Ok since I would like the loop to be as quite as possible, I would opt for a pressure model. The additional accuracy would also be nice.

But what about the calibration? How difficult or long does it really take in order to get one into perfect calibration?

For my setup I plan on having two 360 rads & dual D5 pumps, beyond that my system has no room for anything else, so I can't imagine wanting or needing to add more rads or pumps beyond that for a single CPU 5820k & single 970 graphics card and ram cooling and have already designed it to have enough overkill built in to handle any additional heat need in the future I believe.

I'm not sure if I even need a flow meter at this point, but still considering adding one at the initial creation of my loop, "just because' it's an extra bell & whistle for my loop to have.

I plan on running only purified water in my loop no dyes of any kind what-soever & also will have the aquacomputer filter that I'm adding to my loop to help it keep clean and hopefully stop any clogging in other areas of the loop, hence another reason a flow sensor may be un-needed for my setup?
