I want to use the Koolance TMS-100K Interface Card to control my water cooling system.
The water blocks and radiator are 1/2" ID (DangerDen).
The TMS-100K works best with these 3/8" ID Koolance components:
- TNK-400-V10 (Reservoir & Pump)
- Coolant Flow Meter
- Temperature Sensor, Inline Coolant attached to a "Drain Valve"
What do I do? Yes, the easy answer is get 3/8" water blocks and radiator, or don't use the TMS-100K with the TNK-400-V10 Pump. I'm asking for other options.
Can the above Koolance parts have their tube fittings changed to support 1/2" ID tubing?
I've read that 3/8" ID tubing can be forced over 1/2" ID fittings. However, doesn't that defeat the purpose (increased flow rate) of having a 1/2" ID system?
Bottom line is I like the DangerDen stuff for its price point and quality. (Koolance is over-priced IMHO). I like the software control and monitoring of the pump/flow/temp with the TMS-100K + TNK-400-V10 combo. Is there anything else available with similar features with 1/2" ID fittings?
