Well I just have to say that IMO making the fan speed a function of the cpu's temp is the wrong way to do things, making it a function of the water temp is much more predictable and easier to read. My wced setup has been going fine since the tbalancer came out basically... water says <33C giving cpu...

"But one fan controlled by two sensors, well almost. You can set two sensors to one fan's temperature response. But the fan is controlled by the highest temp from either one. Because the CPU is most likely most of time hotter than the HDD, the CPU sensor controls the mostly the speed of the fan. " W...

if you spend more on tygon or clearflex even rather than .79$ stuff at a hardware store and a pot of boiling water you can stretch it with some effort, but get ready to be frustrated as crap when doing it. Also I'd get teh DCC, the 1048 is quiet, but a wimp, for just a cpu+rad loop it is okay, not t...

Well.. your evercool fans won't work well with PWM.. unless you are willing to switch fans there isn't really a choice ;). Nexus and Globe fans are the only ones that I know of that have no issues at all with PWM. All other fans I've tried end up with some amount of clicking noise. (Not to say those...

From what I've read, seen... Nexus or Globe. Nexus I think you're guarenteed a quiet fan, only problem is they start off pretty quiet with little airflow, if you need more than that they're no help. But they don't have a problem being turned down V as far as I've seen, and have no noise wtih PWM. Gl...

I just got 2 globes, I'm impressed with them, was suprised. However, I wouldn't say they're quiet @ 12v. They're just spinning very fast... 2000rpm. You'd have to put them on a fanmate imo to get them down just a little. Really nexus and a few papst are the only 120mm fans that are quiet @ 12v... ho...

"2) When I'll be able to set a certain temp, and let the T-balancer adjust in real time in order to keep it constant. " I'm not sure exactly how that is going to happen. I'm sure they'll add it, since they said they would, but I doubt it'll be that great. I just don't think you can do it with the li...

BTW you don'/t have to pick those generic curves.. click the advanced button The temp sensors also don't have to be perfect... if you got it so when the cpu was loaded the temp sensor always read 56C and when it was idle it was always 52C thats enough info. My goal was to keep the water at 32C (delt...

Yea the temp probes have issues, the probe itself doesn't really come in contact with what its measuring.. they're kinda big so you can't fit tehm between fins on a heatsink for example...
