Mcubed BigNg

Thanks for the info Marci, that helps out alot. More than likely I will only have 3 pumps, I was just saying that if I could talk the wife into letting me have 6 then I would get 6, but you know how that goes .

That settles it then, BigNg and Sensorbus it is! Now I just gotta sneak that purchase past the wife.

Just so that you understand how mine is setup:

I have a BigNG, 2 miniNG's, 1 Sensor bus, 1 Digital expansion, 6 water temp probes (G1/4"), and 8 attenuators all from Mcubed.

I have 3 pumps in my system for 3 different loops. I just dropped out my Iwaki RD-30 as I'll be using it on my upcoming test bench. I have 3 DDC-2's in my system, 2 with Petra's top and 1 with alphacool top.

On the BigNG, I have my CPU loop and other motherboard related fans:
Port 1 = DDC-2
Port 2 = 2 Yates on my PA120.2 joined together with an attenuator
Port 3 = 3 Yates (2 on the top of my "MM Original Window" and 1 on the motherboard tray in the exhaust port) connected together with 2 attenuators)
Port 4 = Corsair Dominator RAM fan

On MiniNG-0, I have my GPU loop:
Port 1 = DDC-2
Port 2 = 3 Yates on my PA120.3 joined together by 2 attenuators

On MiniNG-1, I have my Chipset/HD loop:
Port 1 = DDC-2
Port 2 = 1 Yate with an attenuator attached to my PA160

On my Sensorbus, I attached the RPM monitors for my CPU's DDC-2 and my GPU's DDC-2. I also have 6 water temp probes attached to it to monitor temp in and temp out of each of my 3 radiators. The water temp probes are G1/4" caps that you can use with a T-line. My sensor bus also attaches the hard switches from my power switch to the motherboard.

My BigNG also has 6 digital thermometers attached to it through daisy chain to monitor my CPU, GPU1, GPU2, NB, SB, and RAM. The bigNG is setup to automatically adjust fan speed and control the pump based upon the temp curve I have for each component.

The Sensor bus will perform a hard shutdown in the event any of the temp thresholds for my 6 digital thermometers, 6 water temp probes, or if the pump RPM signal no longer broadcasts.

This thing gives you total control and monitoring over everything. It's awesome for the control/safety freak. I'll have to admit, I had to spend a few days just getting the wiring down to avoid the "spaghetti" look, but it was worth it.
