Figured that may be the case, ahh well

Interesting, is that a formula you can share, or is it under proprietary agreeement?

Sure thing! I find it kind of fun doing stuff like this. Professionally I'm an engineer, but not in computer sciences. This is all learning for me. That would account for some of the discrepancy with the decimal value not quite matching the UEFI. I was making an assumption that the water pump increased in speed during boot. I'm going to put in the correct ratio value (60x) just so that portion is settled. We can worry about the value direction after. I do know that a lot of these flow units just report in RPM via means of a paddle wheel in the flow stream and a hall effect sensor, and then utilize a conversion calculation to turn it into flow rate, looks like the MSI UEFI does that automatically since I haven't had to enter in anything myself. I believe Aida64 has that capability? I vaguely recall reading a post that you can convert RPM to flow. That would help with the conversion, but not the proportional directionality of the value unfortunately. Not sure I understand that, unless it's a case of switched leads ( like how a three phase motor changes direction if you swap legs) but even then I don't think the pin-out on my flow meter supports that theory

@Fiery did a little more digging. I think there are two separate issues occurring at the same time. So in the bios LPH reports as ~65.5LPh, and as soon as the system starts up about 0.69LPH, so I believe we are off as a factor of 100, which is easily resolved from the preferences menu and the correction factors. What is perplexing me is the secondary issue and I'm not sure how to resolve it from my side. That's the response of the sensor being inverse to what it should be. When the pump speed slows down (via control of a curve programmed in FanControl) the LPH will increase (even though an incorrect value), and when the pump increases in speed the LPH will decrease. Not sure what else I can look at, and searching the forums hasn't yielded anything yet.

did a little playing with it. I am getting a flow reading, but it's off. First I thought it just needed a correction factor since the flow rate is ~0.8LPH with the pump speed at ~2800rpm. I changed the ratio in the settings first to 10, then to 100 since I thought that was just moving the decimal over and that would be good enough (setting aside questions of accuracy and calibration). That gave me a reading of about 80 LPH which seems reasonable for a system at rest. When I put the system under load though, the flow reading gave an inverse effect, dropping down to ~40LPH while the pump speed increased to ~4800RPM. So I think we are halfway there. Doing some googling to see if other people have had this issue before.

Just made the upgrade, you're a genius! Totally works now! Thanks @Fiery! To do my part for the community, is there any testing you want me to do with this?

So, clearly made some mistakes when I built my rig. I'm using an MSI Z690 Unify-X Mobo, and utilized two Corsair Commander Core XT Hubs to control 10 fans. I have the CC hooked onto the Mobo using a JUSB port instead of the JCORSAIR port, although I've been told explicitly by MSI this makes no difference and they do not support Corsair products. I cannot collect the fan RPM data in Aida 64, but it does show up in HWInfo64. I did manage to get away from the iCue software and now use FanControl along with the Aida64 and Corsair plugins, which allow me to see sensor data and fan RPM speed. This seems a positive step since iCue causes known conflicts with other programs; however, I still can't get the fan RPMs to show up on my Aida sensor panel. My thought process was to get rid of iCue, get another program reading and controlling the RPM data, then using Aida to share the info from the control program, but I can't seem to figure out that final step. Is there a way I can capture that RPM data on my sensor panel, or am I looking at swapping hubs, or doing direct connections (with splitters) to the MOBO so I can collect that data? Thanks in advance

@Fieryawesome, thanks for the response! Hopefully msi comes up with something

@Fieryany updates?

Everything is the most up to date. I also find it weird that the bios won't detect the corsair fans, but hwinfo 64 does... it's odd

I'm currently trying to get my sensor panel to report flow from the Wflow_1 header on an MSI Unify-X Z690 Mobo. It's been.... a journey... but I Initially found I had a faulty sensor (pinout was wrong) which I replaced, then there was an obstruction in my loop filter which limited flow preventing it from reading. I cleared all that out and now I can get a flow reading from the sensor, but only while I'm in the bios. Both Aida 64 and Hwinfo are not reporting the reading from the Wflow header. I'd like to be able to get this reading on my sensor panel, but I need help getting the program to read the header. any advice or input would be appreciated. On a side note, only partially related, HWinfo can see the corsair commander core for fan speeds, but Aida 64 cannot. This is less critical for me, but would be cool if there was a way to see those too... I have 10 fans in my system.
