Flow Sensor compatible with MB 3 pin header

[bjcsoln]

Can anyone recommend a flow sensor that has a 3pin output (Flow in/Flow Power/Gnd -or at least that'ss the pin description on my ASUS MB). Koolance had a nice pass through one, but the output was only a 2 pin (although not sure if I could jury-rig something based on the pin signals).

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried Dazmode?

EK-Quantum Flow Indicator D-RGB – Black - DazMode

EK-Quantum Flow Indicator D-RGB is a premium flow indicator with addressable RGB implementation belonging to the Quantum Line. It visually represents the coolant flow rate, which is often hard to see with the naked eye. This can be very useful to instantly see if your loop operation is nominal...

You searched for flow - DazMode

clshades - Daz was the first place I went - and while I saw that EK Flow indicator, I didn't realize that it also had a digital output (I thought it was just a visual sensor). Thanks for verifying this and back to the DAZ!

Wait - that flow sensor has a 3 pin output, but isnt it just for the RGB? Looking at the spec sheets, I don't see an output for the flow rate?

There's others there. From my limited experience with flow sensors many of them need a dongle to correctly convert RPM to GPM. It's not a perfectly accurate system, at least it wasn't back then. Mainly what I was after was to shut the PC down when no flow was detected. IE: pump failure. Pretty sure the D5 laing pumps have a cpu header wire for this potential problem, but it wouldn't accurately convert RPM to GPM without the extension. I used the Koolance inline flow sensor on the secondary CPU header. If you follow the second link you'll see the other options at Daz. The Koolance inline is very small but you need the extension to convert it to GPM/LPM. I didn't bother with the extension I just wanted shut down on failure. Which never happened.

I did order a Barrow one from Daz (should be in on Monday) - it doesnt have a digital output but it looked pretty cool. All of the rest of my sensors though will get displayed on a little LCD panel on the bottom of my build, really wanted to include the flow sensor but worst comes to worst, I will live without it

Here's another place to look around. Most of these sensors require the dongle. I'm not sure how your mobo would convert that.
