I can't find the temperature sensor output for my 9800x3d in Aquasuite. Anyone have any suggestions? It's fully updated. You can see that HWinfo64 had no issues seeing it so I'm really confused (none of the sensors seem to match the HWinfo64 values). I had no problems with my earlier 7800x3d finding a temp sensor.![]() Thanks! I don't *need* it in the sense that nothing is programmed to CPU temps but I'd like to set up an alarm etc and be able to visualize all the data appropriately. Just to show the other folders available: ![]() it's not hiding anywhere in there, I checked every folder in case something got moved or whatnot. e: yes I monitor the top and bottom case temperatures don't pretend you wouldn't do it you're a sicko also! (it's mostly for my interest but I run a synthetic sensor which is the average of the two. I use that synth sensor output to compare to coolant temp, the smaller the delta between coolant temp and average case temp, the more my case fans bring in fresh air). e2: okay so it wasn't fully up to date, it said it was but an update was hiding in the top bar area. Installing now, maybe that'll do it. e3: yeah that did it! Sorry for the read. VB - Bruere fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Apr 25, 2025 |

Yes, I would. I really should get one of those aquacomputers some day, so I don't have to always shop for a motherboard with a thermristor header on it. Granted, it is a fairly common feature in mid range boards for now, but both my current Asus board and my previous Gigabyte won't let you control the CPU fan header from anything but the CPU temps, which means I can't use that thermristor header for controlling fans from the coolant temp so I just leave it unplugged. Its annoying because some of the other fan headers are on a different SuperIO chip in many boards and either can't be controlled as finely, or are straight up inaccessible to lots of software because its some rare/unusual configuration.

Indiana_Krom posted:Yes, I would. For what it's worth the brand is Aquacomputer and the product of theirs I'm using for the two thermisters is the Quadro. I recommend it highly, if you click the thing to see only my posts here you'll find my install of it, if you're curious how it is. I like it a lot.

ding dong, asetek's watercooling patent has expiredquote:Having patented a simple yet efficient design of a closed-loop liquid cooling system (LCS) that integrates a pump into the CPU water block in 2005, and successfully protected its IP for 20 years, Asetek has become the world’s leading OEM producer of all-in-one liquid coolers. However, that patent expires on May 6, 2025 — today — and thus Asetek loses its key advantage in the PC market and potentially some clients, reports Heise. Coincidentally, last month the company said it had received notification of interest in its liquid cooling business https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-com...ooling-business should be fun to see where consumer-level watercooling goes from here

God drat finally. It's unfortunate this is happening in the middle of a global trade hostage situation, so we're not going to see anything come of it for probably years in the US.

I have been hemming and hawing about a cpu AIO purchase. Finally bought a case which has room for a 360mm aio in side mount. Enermax looks good based on reviews. It comes with a 5yo warranty and it has a fill port and an extra bottle of purified water. https://www.enermax.com/en/products/liqmaxflo-360 Price is 82€ here which is reasonable. White AIO’s are either a lot more expensive, have weird mounting like requiring removing ILM, are not serviceable by user etc. That even has a thick 38mm rad and a vrm fan on block. Any reasons to avoid it?

finally got in my waterblocks and coolant so that i can move my PC into a new case and they sent me the wrong waterblock for the CPU. loving hell.

You might get more feedback in the general PC building thread - this thread is more focused on custom loop watercooling and I don't think many of us are keeping up with AIO stuff.

Thanks. I always think about custom water cooling, but for just a piddly 150W cpu, what does it bring...? Mainly I want it to get rid of the CPU air cooler blocking the airflow in the case.

I think most here use a custom loop for both cpu and gpu to cut down on fan noise and maybe have better temps or just to tinker for the fun of it.

I have a 280 on just my cou, which is very much overkill. But I have a 360 mounted as well for whenever I upgrade my GPU. Mostly for noise control. My rig is damned near silent if I'm not gaming.

I water-cooled because I had always wanted to since high school. My machine is more compact and quieter than it would otherwise be as well.

The temps are nice but I love my slightly overkill setup because it's so quiet. I can't stand noise.

I think my next build is going to aim for being as quiet as possible. It's funny when your pc sounds like it's about to lift off, but I'm getting a bit tired of it.

CPU temps on a full custom loop are barely under what a good heat pipe tower will get you due to the use of heat spreaders acting like an insulator. It almost doesn't matter how good your cooler is once it passes the "good enough to dissipate <CPU> wattage"; one that can just dissipate the CPU wattage versus one that can dissipate five times the CPU wattage will have almost no difference in load temperatures. The heat spreaders are simply that bad of a insulator. GPU temps at least are a little bit lower than most air coolers because they are still direct die contact with the cold plate. The big advantage in a custom loop is when one is properly tuned taking in to account coolant and ambient temps, it will absolutely crush air and AIOs when it comes to its sound/noise performance. I can dump a 500w gaming load into my custom loop and even a couple hours later when the whole thing has been at its equilibrium for ages, a mechanical hard drive spinning up is still by far the loudest thing in my case. The room can be an oven, the CPU will be in the low 80s, the GPU in the low 60s, the coolant just over 40c and its just the faintest low fan sound that is barely more than you would get from forced air AC running on the other side of the house.
