	The [https://shop.watercool.de/MO-RA3-Series MO-~~RA3~~] family of external radiators is a product of Germany's [https://watercool.de/ Watercool]. It is available in ~~360mm and 420mm models~~.

The [https://shop.watercool.de/MO-RA3-Series MO-RA] family of external radiators is a product of Germany's [https://watercool.de/ Watercool]. It is available in sizes up to 600mm². The 360mm natively supports nine 120mm fans; the 420mm natively supports nine [[140mm fans]] (18 on the Pro, which supports fans mounted on both front and back). The Model-IV 400 employs 4 200mm fans, and the massive Model-IV 600 handles 9 200mm. At a mere 9 fins per inch, it does not require high-pressure fans to maximize performance, relying instead on sheer size.

	Other large external radiators include the Alphacool NexXxoS and the Phobya G-Changer Xtreme NOVA.		Other large external radiators include the Alphacool NexXxoS and the Phobya G-Changer Xtreme NOVA.

	Desiring to source the most efficient power possible, I'll run a lengthy PCIe 6-pin cable out the back of my machine, capable of carrying at least 75W on its three 12V pins (6.24A). I'll then use a trivial adapter to take that to SATA or Molex, and thus be able to power nine PF-14s on the front, and nine NF-A14s on the back. I do not intend to put any pumps on the MO-RA3, as I already have three D5s in my workstation. My longest PCIe cables are 75cm long, with a 30cm PCIe-to-Molex adapter. This means I can't use the MO-RA3 more than about a meter away from my workstation. If I wanted to run it three meters away, I'd need to use external power (and cut longer tubes).

	I'll need to run two tubes out to the MO-RA3, but beyond ~~coolant~~ and power, what is necessary? The RGB and PWM of fans must be managed. If I have any temperature or flow sensors on the MO-RA3, they'll need hookups. It ought be possible, however, to control all this from a device local to the MO-RA3. Many people use Aquacomputer products such as the [https://shop.aquacomputer.de/product_info.php?products_id=3420 Splitty] in this role, and run data over a USB or Aquabus cable. I'd instead like to use a SBC with 2.4GHz 802.11n. I will likely break the shield off a [[CODI6]] to get the PWM+RGB headers.		Actually, instead I just used a standard 12V AC adapter. A 120W supply can comfortably handle nine fans, two D5 pumps, an active sensor, and microcontrollers.

	The ARGB version claims ~~only 0.11A for the fan (why is this different?), and~~ 0.4A for the 5V ARGB LEDS (1.~~32W~~ and 2W respectively, 3.~~32W~~ total, ~~a little less than 75~~% ~~the listed demand from~~ the RGB variant).		The ARGB version claims 0.4A for the 5V ARGB LEDS (2.04W and 2W respectively, 4.04W total, about 91% of the RGB variant).

	The ARGB solution is not only prettier, but requires 74.7% the wattage of the RGB. At 18 fans, that's a difference of 20.16W(!). I'd very much like to know why the ARGB variant is so much more efficient (there's no listed difference in performance). This solution does require both 12V and 5V power.
