I am looking into building my first water cooling system. Going to build most of it myself. I have everything figured out except the fan controller. I would like to have the radiator fan controller by the temperature of either the water or the CPU block. I am looking for some ideas and a general direction to look in. Thanks for all the help.

That is one idea I have. I want something that gets the temperature from the liquid. This way the system's goal will be keep the water cooled which in return keeps all parts cooled, not just CPU.

@benikens: yeah, that is more of a last resort. it can control a lot of fans and all. i have one on my gaming rig.

@rubix_1011: to control fan speed.

Basically I want a easy circuit that I can build to make a fan controller that will controller my fan depending on the water temperature.

EDIT: http://www.electronics-diy.com/electronic_schematic.php?id=1036

That is what I want to do. I just need some help in building the circuit. I do not want to buy something that has many fan controllers when I only want to controller one maybe two. I am building this on my server because the fans on it our so loud.
