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 ~~former~~ natively supports nine 120mm fans; the ~~latter~~ natively supports nine [[140mm fans]] (18 on the Pro, which supports fans mounted on both front and back). At a mere 9 fins per inch, it does not require high-pressure fans to maximize performance, relying instead on sheer size.

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.

An Arctic P-14 PWM PST RGB 140mm fan requires a maximum of 0.17A for the fan and 0.20A for the LEDs (all at 12V, so 2.04W and 2.4W respectively, 4.44W total). They provide daisy chaining:

Line 74:

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 "gender adapter" here is just a 4-pin jumper.

the "gender adapter" here is just a 3- or 4-pin jumper (for ARGB and RGB, respectively).

But that's not how it's expecting to hook up; it expects you to use the female receptacles at the outlay. Thankfully, there's a little less than 25mm of gap on one side of the grill. So long as all your wires end up there, they'll be hidden (this gap has a solid cover). So...
