I need a reliable flowmeter for my test box WC rig
It is an asus a7m266-d with the mounting holes drilled out, running dual 1900MPs in serial, currently cooled by MCW372s in a 1/2" setup using a BIX and an Eheim 1250. I want to be able to measure flow accurately to gauge the flow capabilities of blocks and other hardware that I test, as well as try to mod a failsafe shutoff when my flow drops below a certain level. I am aware that I have other bottlenecks in my system currently but I am just trying not to add any more at this point, as I will be testing some true 1/2 setups and do not wish to compromise my data.
Price is not a major object for me as long as I can stay under 200 to 300 dollars US I am not too concerned. I need accuracy and ease of readout first and foremost.
Also, before you ask why I use a dually for a WC test bed, I have 2 reasons.
Number one, I can always unhook 1 proc and run single cpu tests, and still have the option to run comparison testing in dual mode, as well as test various setups in parallel and serial. Contrary to popular belief, serial is not ALWAYS the most efficient, especially in high flow rate setups. I have found that I can somewhat gauge a block's flow capacity by comparing my parallel temps to serial, but obviously it is not extremely accurate.
Number two, because its pimp as shiz, and thats what we are all about at pimprig
*edit* Thanks, I'll be sure to check it out! and I appreciate the welcome Bigben, I've always heard great things about you guys
