Watercooling

OK.

Looking for a way to LCD water temperature and the flow.

Also need the equipment for the system to read this info.

Someone hook a noobie up.

Thanks.

Water temp would be easy using a DS18S20 temperature probe and a microcontroller. The water flow is another story.

give some more details about your cooling system.
is there any build in sensor or something?
any software supporting these values you want to display to LCD?

It's a Danger Den system. No built in sensors, need to get them.
Basically I need a way to sensor the Temp and Flow, then, figure out a way to input these values into LCD Smartie.

I have a Innovatek flowmeter that connects to a Fan header on the motherboard. From web site it works out at 2800 pulse/litres. I.e. with a flow of e.g. 0.7 litre/minute the BIOS would indicate a value of 1960 RPM

I get the 1960 from MBM what is needed is a way to apply the maths to the number

FlowRate (($FanS2)/2800) l/m something like this.

Maybe its allready there but im new to this.

ok doh! as the saying goes demo.dll does the math, think i got it working now.

commands I used are

FR $dll(round.dll,1,$dll(demo.dll,4,$FanS2,2800),2) l/M

using round to give me just 2 decimal places

Fan to Flow rate converter needed
