Just an idea all, how about I see about designing a low cost flow meter, we have all the parts in stock that we would need. You would just plug it in any fan port, that way will be 100% sure you always have flow.

Will just use CSP-MAG magnets, hall sensor, and jeweled bearings with low rpm paddle wheel. Given very low drag of bearings, it should be fairly accurate.

What you all think?

Any programmers around here that can make a cheap utility that shows flow based on RPM from meter, once I test the curves?

I think this would go a long way in helping find problems before CPU blows like on other thread?
