Hey guys I have a aquaaero monitor currently installed in my system and while im marking up components to upgrade my loop(s) I figured it high time to make use of this hardware.

With that being said there are two sensors ive found that I can use.

Unfortunately OCUK do not stock sensors (seems kinda silly as they provide the expensive hardware but not the little connectors to actually utilise it) so ill need to go elsewhere for it.

That being said id like to know which would be 'better' for me to use. The two options are a "Bitspower BP-MBWP-CT, Temperature Sensor Probe, G1/4" Thread" or a "Aqua Computer 71162 Temperature Sensor Inline".

Judging from the looks of those one plugs into a T junction while the other is placed within the actual loop effectively having the fluid run through the whole thing. I may be wrong here but that is what I gathered at a glance.

Anyway what would you guys suggest out of the two?

Also if you know of any others that may be a better option please let me know!

Thanks in advance!
 
A neater solution would be this one mate:
Aqua-Computer 53067 Temperature sensor internal/external thread G1/4

It has both female and male 1/4" connectors so no need to mess around with seperate in-line stuff ;) - much neater - I have three in my system along with an temp probe which I used in my res all connected to my AE5 Pro

I am also about the get some of these!
Just a question though about the inner size? I am using 1/2"ID 3/4" OD tubing and Compression fittings, so how is the inner diameter of these inline temp sensors compared to the fittings?
 
Theyrw perfect mate. The inner diameter is the same size as normal fittings so they wont impede on flow rates etc ;)

Aha thats good!
I need 2 for the RAD temp!

Thats where I've got them mounted mate - two on the top rad, and one on the back rad :) - They look loads neater than the 'in-line' ones by simply screwing into the rad (or block) before the compressions and are hardly noticeable so doesn't detract from the finish of a 'slick' build.
