Stalled DICE CASES - FLOW : expandable SFF case for watercooling enthusiast (built in distroplate)

[AllXFrag]

I know some people were thinking on how to monitor loop temps. I'm getting an aquaero octo and one of their inline temp monitors. I'll drop a link below.

Temperature sensor inline G1/4 - Aqua Computer

Temperature sensor inline G1/4: This temperature sensor is equipped with two G1/4 inner threads and can be combined with hose fittings for any tubing size. Cable lenght approx. 60 cm, female connector. Technische details: Threads: G1/4 Body material: Nickel plated brass Cover material: Delrin...

Also I'm trying to work out what rgb strip to shove in the distro, might go for an rgbpx one and connect it to the octo for that fancy shmancy rainbowpukeunicornpoopepilepsyinducing goodness...

I use the Quadro with that probe, but also the flow one.

If you have an ASUS Strix board, it comes with a Temp Sensor header OOB. You can use Argus Monitor to control loop flow with coolant temperature via that header. IIRC, ASUS is the only ITX motherboard with that header.

I got myself a AORUS this time (B550-I) and I am thinking to get a Aquacomputer Quadro as well and pair it up with G1/4 Plug temperature Sensor, may be get a flow sensor? and a RGBpx to 3-pin ARGB header if i need some rainbow puke.

Sound like a plan there!
I see no point of a flowmeter since the distro has one inside anyway, albeit not an accurate number but at least u can tell if flow is low or something. Plus I'm not super concerned about the flow rate.

That's fabulous news! That means you can start shipping soon? Any ETA on that? No pressure ?

I'm with him, any ETA for their shipment?

Thank you Dice!

Eagerly waiting for mine!

I can feel your excitement like mine, Im waiting a call from them when they ship the painted parts to me ?

I have not used the Quadro personally, but I've got an Aquaero 6XT from the same company (similar type of product but more features) and it's really quite a powerful piece of hardware (Aquasuite is a bit fiddly at first but once you get used to it it's got a lot of functionality)

My plan is to get the Quadro + temp sensor, along with the RGBpx strips so that I can control everything from one unit and one piece of software. I'm trying to figure out what flow sensor I can get that's small, all the aquacomputer ones look huge.

 

[duynguyenle]

There's not that many options for flow sensor, there's a Koolance unit that's fairly compact https://koolance.com/ins-fm19-coolant-flow-meter

Or this one from Bach but all the instructions are in German. The listing says it's compatible with Aquaero products but you may need to calibrate it within Aquasuite https://www.aquatuning.co.uk/water-...low-meter-transparent-g3/8-ag-highflow?c=2775

Got some mixed news. Some cases will be here next week, so hopefully I can ship them, but some of them came out failed from the factory (Quality control works hehe) so it need to be done again. They type some wrong numbers in the stamping machine, and the vent slots came out in the wrong angle. It takes some extra days, but thats how these things work ?

Thank god for QC!

Dibs on one of the good ones ;-)

Curious to see what reviews will be like

Lottery mode enabled on who gets shipped next week ?, guess its colour dependant as well ?.

Nonetheless happy to have an update and happy that QC is on point! ??Thanks @diceboii13

Me too!

So which cases survived QC? I'd like to hear which case configuration or color had the most defects.

The colors were nice, just the stamping (cutting process) were failed in the outside elements, like frontplates, sidepanels, top/bottom expandable panels. The angle of the slots was the problem.

Dangit, how long will you need for their replacement and shipping? No pressure, just to have a rough estimate, keep up the good work and thanks for noticing us.

Kudos Dice!

Im gonna get the first ones this week (probably 10-20 pieces), as the painting factory said, that I can send in the next week. From the point I got the cases I can ship within 1-2 days. ?

 

[ductapeme]

Oh boy! I can't wait to get a notification/email when my case gets mailed out!
