Water temps

[linger]

Is there something i could put in the loop that will read the temps of the water, while not restricting the flow too much?

Use a res and it would be easy.

I was thinking about getting a Matrix Orbital and dropping one of these down the T-Line.

I've got the dangerden poly res, what could i put in there to get the temps?

will your finger fit?

I just put together a DD system and was wondering the same thing. I have a bunch of temp probes laying around. I'm thinking that you just cant use any probe though. It'll have to be water-proof, otherwise it might short out.

best idea yet...
but yea i guess i'll just start looking around for water proof probes.

A probe won't do you much good without a temp gauge, do you have one of those? Expect to spend some money for a good one & a probe. If you want a quick, non-permanent solution, just use a thermometer that would normally be used for taking peoples' temperatures.

Check this out.. I bought one of these for my Koolance Exos system and it worked great. But it's for 8mm tubing.The probe actually unscrews from that fitting and could be installed into a res fairly easily. It even has its own o-ring on it already.

I was going to suggest that, but most people that read these forums want more performance than what you'll get with small diameter tubing.

Hey does anyone know if the probes from this, http://www.svc.com/enalpaw6fana.html , are waterproof?

How about using/modding if you need too something like these?

that inline water probe is perfect. thanks for the link.

 

[linger]

thanks for all the help, this really helped a lot

 

[bellevegasj]

linger, I believe that the inline water temp probe works with the matrix 222, I've emailed them to find out. I will post here if/when I get an answer. that's the first 1/2 in temp probe that I've seen.

 

[linger]

nice, i've always liked the look of the oribtals, thanks for the info

 

[bellevegasj]

I like the way they look, plus you can find them for under 100 bucks. the software that comes with it allows you to do some really good coding too.

i might just have to pick one up, this would be a nice addition to my watercooling.
