| Any of you hoes speak the language these guys are speaking here ? They are showing this piece of kit which looks suspiciously like an inline flowmeter you might hook to a mobo header allowing MBM to monitor it and initiate shutdown on pump failure dont-cha think? ![]() | ||

| Thanks Scapegoat that worked (almost) quite well! Dark, the av is growing on me too! Here is the translation: The DFK is a high-quality flow meter from the industrial range. By means of attached blue LED the water river is optically indicated (LED flashes). Like that permanent control of the water river is easily possible. The DFK spends the flow additionally over impulses at the connecting plug to the Motherboard. The impulses vary depending upon flow. Unfortunately it is to be spent at present not possible the pulse frequency over the Bios, since the meissten Motherboards presupposes a number of minimum impulses, which is reached only with comparatively faster turning exhausts. Scope of supply: DFK, finished manufactured cable with plug for exhaust connection, blue LED (3mm). Raises some interesting possibilities eh? Sounds like they are not quite there yet, but heading in the right direction! | ||

| Yea OK, I got an Idea. The big wheel in this little gizmo has holes in it for the LED to shine through and be read by a sensor and report the pulses right? Use the big wheel to turn a much smaller weel, like gears, so you greatly increase the RPM and therefore the pulse count. You only need to get it high enough that the mobo thinks the fan is on. | ||

| I read it as though the blue LED was just a visual indicator. You can tell your water is flowing because the light is pulsing. If you look at the pic, the LED is just at the end of a wire bundle. It appears the wires plug into the black plug on the paddle wheel. But if you look that connector splits to another connector that looks like a three point mobo connector. Still, they have converted the water movement to a pulsatile signal, it just needs to go one step further! What about some sort of electrical amplification instead of mechanical. | ||

| Actually, the insides of something like a Razer Boomslang mouse. One of those high precission extream DPI gaming models would serve as a decent blueprint. Just adapt that same technology or even the same as a standard mouse should be good enough. Your only going to use one axis so it's even simpler. | ||
