It's about $50; I like the [https://www.amazon.com/DIYhz-displaydigital-Thermometer-Temperature-Indicator DIYhz]. If you get it, power it off one of the CODI6's fan headers. These don't tend to have any digital output, so don't bother trying to sample a tach from it (there's only two wires: 12V and ground).

	In 2024, I redesigned the [[InaMORAta]] to use 5v ARGB fans (the previous design used 12v RGB fans). I also significantly simplified the electronics. We get a single tachometer signal from the 9x fans, and a tachometer signal from both pumps. Similarly, we control all 9x fans with a single PWM signal, and control the pumps independently with two more. We control the fans' LEDs as three series of 36 LEDs each, each corresponding to a row of three fans. We measure and report ambient temperature. A distinct sensor provides visual display of speed and coolant temperature. The total cost runs between $600 and $800, and is easily capable of cooling a remote 2kW machine. It's by no means a great value, but watercooling rarely is.		In 2024, I redesigned the [[InaMORAta]] to use 5v ARGB fans (the previous design used 12v RGB fans).

			Inputs to the inaMORata are a 12V AC adapter and a G¼" tube of hot coolant. Outputs are heat, light, and a G¼" tube of cooled coolant. Additionally, MQTT over IP over WiFi provides control and report.
