with regards to the aquareo temp sensors, so i can put them on the cpu, ??? I wanted to use them to control the fan speeds according to how hot the cpu got, so you saying i cant do that ?
if not where can i put the sensors, and how to i attach them ? i wanted to put them on the cpu seeing thats where i would want the fan speed to increase, the sensors, are they sticky ? or do i have to use some substance to stick them down ?
Also does the flow sensor have any screws i can attach it to something, or should i use some double sided tape and stick it to something ? or drill the case, and use screws ?
The flat temp probes that come with the Aquaero are your standard computer usage temp probes. While you could use it by using some thermal tape and stick it to the side of the CPU block it does not give a good reading of your actual CPU temp. The best solution with the Aquaero is to utilize an in-the-coolant style temp sensor. The sensor slips right into a T fitting Plug n Cool fitting, which is put in the H20 line immediately after your CPU. This will tell you the temp of the water that the CPU has heated up and give you a much better indication of what is going on. Either way you do it you can control your fans in 4 different programable modes. See the link above for the Aquaero manual. It's quite interesting to read ;D
Here is an image of the
flow sensor provided by IT-Trade if that help any. Perhaps someone from A-C can tell us what is on the other side of the flow sensor?
