Parts advice for flow and temp

[Shalamay]

Hey, guys need some help. I have two loops that I'm going to be doing and I want a flow meter and a temp monitor for each loop. I will be using 1/2" ID tubing. I don't know anything about these but what I've read on the site. Feel free to make sugestions if there are other kinds out there.

Flow meters:
ONE (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/8294/koo-158/Koolance_INS-FM17_Coolant_Flow_Meter_and_Adapter_Board_No_Fitti ngs.html?tl=g30c229)
TWO (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/4111/koo-54/Koolance_Coolant_Flow_Meter_No_NozzlesINS-FM16.html?tl=g30c229)
THREE (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/2102/ex-flo-03/Innovatek_FlowMeter_PRO_Rev_36_500870-02.html?tl=g30c229)

Temp monitors:
ONE (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/2272/ex-tub-119/Innovatek_Screw-In_Inline_Water_Temp_Probe_500999.html?tl=g30c229&id=ueHaXSyY)
TWO (http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/inteseforaqa.html)

Then use this to look at the flow and temp at the same time: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/sckma5bayfan.html

This is not final and I'd really like help and ideas if there is a easier way to do this. Thanks

Need help, guys please.

The first flow meter, because the second is known for breaking and the third uses 8mm ID/10mm OD barbs built into it.

The first temp monitor links no where and the second I am not sure about. I am not sure if it is compatible with the Kaze Master, but it has the right connector so you might be ok. The style I use and I know most others use is this one (http://jab-tech.com/Bitspower-Silver-shining-G-1-4-Temperature-Sensor-Stop-Fitting-BP-WTP-CT-pr-4345.html). There are a few variants of it if you are having availability issues.

Thanks for the reply, so how do you put that inline? All the tee's I found have barbs on them and that won't srcew in. Also, do the inline sensors restrict the flow very much? Thanks, again.

This will work: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/bisishqbp.html or this: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=393&products_id=24846 or if you just need a t: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/bisishtbp.html

Thanks miller for the reply. Do these restrict the flow much, as I will be using 1/2ID tubing. Is there a LCD monitor that shows both flow rate and temp or a different one that shows the temp and fan speed that is well liked? Thanks.

They may a little, but nothing to grow over concerned about. I know there are controllers like BIGNG that control everything via software from your desktop.
