Bit the bullet over Black Friday and ordered up full water cooling set up and fittings.
Primarily have gone with EKWB for CPU, GPU, and Pump, Alphacool Rad and Barrow fittings.

I also want to know the water temperature but my motherboard (MSI X570 Tomahwak) doesn't have any pins on the motherboard for a temp sensor.

Is the only way to read the water temp to get one of those digital inline flow meters?
 
Controllers like the Aquaero/Octo/Quadro also take sensor inputs, but they won't be available to your motherboard (but then neither would an inline display).

So it depends on what you want to do with the temperature - are you just interested or wanting to e.g. base fan speed off the water temp?

Sorry but what do you mean by the Inline display wont be available for your motherboard?

Looking at the Aquacomputer inline display flow sensor states its USB powered?

Not sure what you mean by this. Get one of the above devices and connect via an internal usb header, wire up a couple of sensors off it, and will be viewable via the Aquasuite software

Thanks @im4gin3 I'll have a look at them.
