Where do I plug in the temp sensor for the water cooling loop?

[eBiz]

So I just finished all the cable management in my system which is the final step in the competion of my rig. Only there is one cable that is not plugged in and that is the g 1/4" temperature plug. It is a two pin connector that is attached to the reservoir, I just have no idea where to plug it in the motherboard. I am using the X99 Deluxe motherboard from Asus and I don't have any idea where to plug it in. I have looked in the manuel but no luck.

 

Does anybody know where to plug in the temp sensor into this motherboard??

if it has temp sensor slots plug it in there, otherwise you have to get a fan controller i guess.

I would assume a fan slot.e

 

 

After doing some scanning of the motherboard  I have found a two pin header that was marked T1. I still haven't powered on the system but do you think this could be the right connector? I find it hard to believe that a $400 MB wouldn't have a temp header, but this board also came with a fan controller which might take place of one located on the MB. Could I do any damage to the components if I powered it on with this plugged in wrong?

no.

the temp sensor plug is called t1 on my sabertooth too.

normally those two pins plug into an external guage like the one Bitspower and XSPC make, also I know AquaComputer's Aquero 5 - 6 controllers allow a plug in for a temp plug.

Yeah I was also wondering this, I saw one and it was only about $10 so I was gonna get it, but I had no clue where I would plug that in!

DO NOT PLUG IT INTO A FAN HEADER. It plugs into the two pin temperature headers that are found on some motherboards. They will be labelled in your motherboard manual. I would check if it is the correct port before plugging it in, otherwise you may burn out the sensor and short the fan plug, or whatever else you plug it into.

 

@spwath please strike-through you message in case some poor sod attempts this.

Never assume, it makes and ASS out of U and ME for believing you. If it's a temp sensor it will need to be plugged into a header designed for temperature input not fan power output.

That's the exact same thing that happened to me. For all the cash I spend on the watercooling loop I saw the temp sensor was only ten bucks so I figured why not. Even though most sensors are around $10 bucks I should have got a different one, the one I would recommend is the XSPC temp sensor which comes with a LCD display and temperature plug for the same $10. I might even just buy it for the LCD even though I already have the plug.

Hmm, ya I'll take a look at it. Was just looking through my mobo manual and I do have a temperature sensor port where I can plug it in, I guess it would show up in my monitoring software for my motherboard, which I can view at the desktop. That LCD display is nice though, I will consider it but I think I might like one without better. It would be easier for me to view the temp on my monitor rather than crawling under my desk to look for the LCD display.

i just thought I'd recommend it because it comes with both the plug and lcd for the same price as just the plug from other companys. Go with whatever suits your build best though. What MB are you using?

It's Asus Z97-A. Yeah I'll still consider it I'm just not sure if I have room to put it anywhere. My case is decently large and made for water cooling but it's not like a 900d or anything giant so things are going to become a bit cramped after my pump and reservoir arrive.
