DigiFlow 8000T Flow Rate Meter Review

Yeah, with nothing more than some very basic soldering skills to extend the wires, you could easily take apart the turbine sensor and relocate the LCD somewhere more convenient.

Also since in runs on two AAA batteries, you could also easily tie that into the 3V power feed on the PSU, not that it takes much power...but at least you'd never need to change batteries that way.

I'll post some updated results when I get my digital manometer so you can all see the pressure drop, and I may redo my error graph with warmer water to more closely match a water cooling system. The more I've thought about it, the more I think the increased viscosity of cold water could be throwing my results off and it's more accurate than that. It's at least worth a couple of verification tests. Most digital flow meters are no better than 5% accuracy anyway.

That's what I would do if I had planned to run one in a system permanently. These may be good indicators of the health of a system, like if your CPU block started plugging up full of debris, or the pump was starting to die. A flow meter even if not accurate, would provide a good relative indicator for potential problems.
