Looking for internal pump/fan controller with software...

[radeson]

Hello,

I have a 5960x and the asus RVE on the way. I want the best possible water cooled solution for it. I have a corsair H100i for cooling the cpu temporarily. I want an internal pump/fan controller for it. kind of like the koolance tms-205 seen here:

I want the best. please help!!!

I talked to koolance, and the TMS-205 is discontinued with no plans of returning. So i need other options

I don't understand what would be wrong with the PWM fan-control of the motherboard -- particularly THAT motherboard. You can control the PWM devices (pumps and fans) thermally with a single connection to the CPU_FAN port and power them directly from the PSU with a Swiftech 8W-PWM-SPL splitter ($10). The only limitation is that you can only monitor one device on that splitter. But if you have other available headers on that board, you could run yellow-tach wires to those ports to read the RPMs of extra devices.

And you wouldn't have to spend extra.

Alternatively, you could run PWM cooler fans of the same spec and type off such a splitter, while controlling and monitoring your pump and other fans off the remaining headers. Between the ASUS BIOS and their fan-control software, You'd get everything you'd want for spending money on the type of device you linked or mentioned.

dude thank you. I am going to research that and that will pry be a viable option.

Don't know if you have a gourmet inclination and cook. "Simple is best." That's also what the high-school chemistry teacher told me 50 years ago: "You don't need fancy expensive equipment to do a good experiment." It generally applies across the board.

But -- yeah-- with the motherboards for the last four generations, those features have been perfected. The bundled software gives you as much control and "tweak-a-bility" that you need. Just a little planning and strategic application of motherboard resources -- all it takes.

And frankly, ASUS had got so good with it that I worry about getting a different make of motherboard for that reason. If they say "I hate AI Suite," maybe they feel that way, but the fan-control features don't leave much of anything to be desired. And ultimately, the BIOS provides all the features to get your feet wet.
