Sailing_Nut Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I have an Alphacool ES flow and temperature sensor in a custom cooling loop. I want to know how/if I can enter values that convert the RPM signal to L/H values as specified by Alphacool. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailing_Nut Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 Thanks for the info, but I was more asking where in Adia64 I can enter the information. All I see is the ability to create a "correction" in the settings with a ratio and or offset. To even begin to see if I can calculate a proper offset I would need to know the current curve that Adia64 is using. Also, if the flow sensor isn't linear or a different linearity than what is used in Adia64 it won't work with one simple offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if the flow sensor isn't linear or a different linearity than what is used in Adia64 it won't work with one simple offset. AIDA64 doesn't use any curve. When it shows a RPM reading, the direct (raw) RPM value comes from the sensor that provides the reading for it. You can use the AIDA64 Correction facility to apply a ratio and/or an offset to any given reading, but you cannot convert a reading to go from one measurement unit to the other.

Arctucas Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Say you have 1100 rpm when you connect the flow sensor to a fan header. That would be ~255 L/H. In AIDA64 you would determine which fan header was reading the flow sensor, Preferences>Correction>New Fan (X), To convert RPM to L/H, (255÷1100 = 0.231....) Enter .231 in the ratio field, and you should see 255 value reported by that sensor in Sensor Panel. Then rename the Fan to Flow or whatever.

Sailing_Nut Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 @Arctucas Thanks for the information! I'm a bit confused because I already see the RPM and Flow in Aida64 without me doing anything. In thinking about it, my mobo must be reporting these somehow that Aida64 is picking it up. So, I really need to get the values reported from my mobo correct. The odd thing is that the value I see in Aida64 is 51 L/H but the Asus tool is reporting 8 L/M (480 L/H) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue as to the Flow Sensor reading, perhaps Asus could answer what is happening there? Frankly, I never had faith in any Asus software, but that is just me.

Rash Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 hi, I did the math, ratio 0.17 offset 66 seems to fit best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
