Fan Controller on a water pump.

[DaMulta]

Now there is 3 wires on the DD Fixed speed pump. 2 for power 1 for temps.

Could you use a fan controller to control the pumps flow?

Has anyone here tried that? I don't have a fan controller to test my idea with.

Rheobus handles 20 watts per channel, 12 volt control. I don't see why not I don't think it's wise though

if the controler can handle the pump wattage, you shouldn't have a problem, as all the controller does is limit the voltage.

 

[DaMulta]

Well I control it now with a meanwell, but that is controlling it with voltage not watts. This would be a lot better in my eyes.

I wonder how many watts it eats.

The Sunbeam Rheobus Extreme can handle 30W per channel (http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Sunbeam/RheobusExtreme/)

why? the pump should be running 100% when the power supply is on. I get annoyed when people inquire about connecting there radiator fans to a controller some things should not be played with, liquid cooling is about efficiency if a pump or fan bothers you maybe you should go back to conventional.

I only run 100% fans and 100% pump when I am ocing

There is no point in doing that when I'm not overclocked.

what was the point of purchasing $200 worth of water cooling equipment if you were just going to run the entire loop at 50% liquid cooling is about efficiency it doesn't pay off until you reach extreme temperatures.

there is no point in OC'ing if you're going to put it back to stock DaMulta.

I ran death clocks and then I have oc clocks that don't require me to run everything 100% fan noise.

i'm thinking that he doesn't go back to stock just not extreme anymore

To run death clocks from time to time, but why do death clocks have to be 24/7?

 

[calvary1980]

simple answer because you can. I don't want to get in a discussion about philosophy of overclocking. all im saying is maybe you should of thought of this before you purchased.

who said anything about death clock's?

i've been running my max stable OC 24/7 since day 1 which wouldn't be possible without my w/c, damn presshotts

i can try it but i dont have a molex to 3/2 pin adapter

 

[DaMulta]

Let me know how it works if you do try it.

Who cares why, its his, let him do with it what he wants. I dont see why it wouldnt work, and it should work quite well. Aside from maybe software control, I dont think a LC has fan control on it, does it?

2nd'd some pumps are adjustable like the MCP655 i'm getting it just depends

 

[Morgoth]

Damulate what pump are you using?
