I'm super curious which ITX mobo has a pump header and temp sensor? That's going to be my new go to board if it exists. When I was searching last, the asus boards had a temp sensor, but no pump header. Just pwm fan headers. Couple other boards I've looked at have 2A pump headers, but no temp sensor.
Gigabyte's B550i (3x) and X570i (2x) both have 2A PWM fan/pump headers. Perfect for using a splitter and not losing overall fan RPM or running a pump. The Aorus bios also has one of the best fan controls of any bios I know. Actual fan curves, ability to set an off-mode (or turn it off) and apply settings on one fan to others.
Still obviously doesn't hold a candle to something like the Quadro.
@WinterCharm My bad if this has been posted before, but I couldn't find it. I'm trying to figure out how a D5 would align to the ports on a 3080FE block. Could you provide this dimension?
Also, can the pump bracket be flipped horizontal allowing for mounting in this orientation?
65mm, I think (may be off by +/- 2mm, because I did the math in my head. I'll double check the CAD files tonight.
Definitely check out the .STEP files posted on the Winter One website, under the Tech Specs section -- they'll help with loop planning
As noted in
This Update, The Pump bracket can be used in a total of 9 or 10 positions
That, and the Opposing V's are designed to give you maximum flexibility to mount most pumps. This was necessary, because every single manufacturer appears to arbitrarily use their own pump mounting system. While it was impossible to test against every pump, I tried to make it flexible enough that most pumps will work.
