Aquacomputer Internal/external thread temperature sensor, black

I purchased this for my new custom loop in my PC to try to capture the coolant temperature so I can accurately work out my Delta T. I have installed it just before my first radiator in the loop, which is after my graphics card, so in theory it 'may' be a couple of degrees hotter than the rest of the loop (after the loop has levelled out to its running temperature there is very little difference in temperature in any part of the loop). I have connected this sensor to the 2 pin T-Sensor header on my ASUS X299 motherboard so I can monitor it with AI Suite 3. As far as temperature reporting goes it is actually very accurate. Compared to an external thermometer it yielded the same results for room temperatures at different times. After connecting it to my loop and motherboard it reported either the same temperature, or less, than my CPU and graphics card which would indicate it's fairly accurate. Like other customers have mentioned the product is not amazing from a quality perspective. It is essentially a G 1/4"" piece of threaded tubing with plastic clip to hold a fairly generic thermistor against the tubing. In this respect it could be considered a little expensive for what it is. You could purchase a thermistor with a 2 pin connector and attach it to one of the tubing barbs or radiator in your loop to achieve the same effect. It does however have a hexagonal body so it can be tightened with a spanner or adjustable wrench and this makes it very easy to tighten up and reduce the chance of a leak. Once it's tightened up, the black plastic clip feels secure and the thermistor doesn't seem to move.

Service and seller are great. Prompt etc etc. The product. This isn't your usual AquaComputer quality, its pathetic. Its just a fitting with the normal sensor held in BADLY by the back plastic thing. Yes once the top fitting is holding the plastic in place its fine, but before then while trying to install it the cable will come out, and you wont get the sensor to stay in or the plastic ring to hold on. Once installed and If you have more than one the temperature difference are well beyond acceptable, almost like the sensor may not be touching the metal. Again this isn't AquaComputers normal high standard high quality product. You'll be better off just sticking a sensor behind a tube clamp. Its not cheap either, for what it is.

Cheap and tacky at an expensive price.

This is a great product. I use it as part of the light controlling package for my system. Specifically I hook this up to the Aquacomputer farbwerk Aquacomputer farbwerk USB, aquabus-Variante This LED system will then read the tempreture of the water and manipulate the lighitng based on profiles you set up. Pretty great when in an intensive session seeing your PC go through the spectrum of colours to red as the water heats up. This specific item fits nicely and discreetly into most loops with a male and female end G 1/4 thread. However as already noted the black plastic housing which keeps the thermometer secure against the metal fitting has an annoying tendency to fall off. Once you have secured the fitting the issue in non-existent, but during the fitting phase its a pain, more so as I expect these fittings to go in tight discrete hidden areas which are usually hard to reach. In all a great product but its execution could be better in terms of quality.
