Maximus IX Formula flow sensor and temp sensor compatibility

[bn880]

I notice there are inputs for flow sensors and temperature sensors on the board, but no details that I saw in the manual on which sensors are compatible? How would we tune different flow sensor/temp sensor curves if there is no mention of it and nothing that I saw in the BIOS (from reviews, getting the board tomorrow)

Cheers

I can report that Aquacomputer inline temp sensors work (on all 3 temp inputs) and report correct temps. No solid info on the flow sensor yet.

Temp sensors are pretty much standard. Thinking its 10Kohms but my mind is slipping ATM.
Flow sensors simply provide pulses and different sensors have different pulses for flow amounts. I know my aquacomputer high flow sensor is 160PPM/liter of flow.
Steer clean of the bitpower flow sensor. The look nice but are utter garbage you have to choke down the inlet to a 6mm opening which kills your flow just to get the darn thing to spin then it wont spin for long.

This one works, be forwarned that you have to buy a special adaptor that looks like a 3 pin fan connector on steriods on the sensor end and it only comes in one length, about 7 inches long which is about useless so you will need a 3 pin fan extender.

use it on aquaero 6 pro

This one is GARBAGE!!!!

Yeah I have the High Flow from Aquacomputer. I found out that it can be connected directly to the MOBO even though that supplies 12V not 5V as AC requires 😉 Its a Digmesa Hall effect sensor inside, and I checked spec sheets of their stuff; they are usually well over 20V max input voltage. I hooked it up with a makeshift pump (my Aquastream is still burned out due to their stupidity on BUS/FLOW input/output port and using 5V not 12V industry standard as you saw in another thread), and its reporting between 5 and 19l/m. Make of that what you will 😄

Meanwhile Aquacomputer has been completely useless, not providing truthful specs, and not answering a simple support inquiry on the sensor . (can it be plugged in to 12V not 5V sensor drive signal) They basically want you to use ALL of their proprietary things. I won't be going with them in any future builds for this reason.
