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. | I'll need to run two tubes out to the MO-RA3, but beyond coolant and power, what is necessary?

===Daisy chaining=== | |||
There are some subtleties here. | |||
The Arctic P-14 blundered IMHO with its daisy chaining. For both DRGB and PWM, you have: | |||
fan -> wire -> female -> wire -> male | |||
but every PWM fan hookup ever made, and every DRGB hookup ever made, offers male and wants female (i.e. header *pins*). Admittedly, this is a weird departure from the norm (you typically want your charged elements to be female, so they don't go stabbing charge into hands, legs, metal, etc.), but it is what it is. This means that if you want to extrude the female receptacles (which you do), it's going to have a minimum of two wires showing (the wire to the fan, and the wire to the male). Furthermore, you don't get the full useful length of the wire. This can be worked around by putting gender changers on the terminating fans' *male* connectors. Then, bring other fans' *male* connectors out, hooking up to the (unadapted) *female* receptacles in cascade, i.e.: | |||
* fan1 -> wire -> female1 -> wire -> male1 <b>plugs</b> female2 -> wire -> male2 <b>plugs</b> gender adapter <b>plugs</b> source | |||
* fan2 -> wire -> female2 | |||
* female1 is unused | |||
the "gender adapter" here is just a 4-pin jumper. Orient your fans such that the | |||
