I’m presuming you could run more on a single header (say 9) if you have a splitter with its own power supply... so the header on the board is only controlling a low draw controller etc. I like the idea of the bios controlling this and not a program that could crash.

I’m still tempted to put on a single race fan as it will smoke al the tiny fans for static pressure lol, just need to make a controller to run it but thats the bodge way or doing I guess lol

My main concern is pump fails it can shut the computer down automatically, same with pressure loss to the system need a warning.

I was going to make a mounting platform on the side of the rad to hold everything, gives me an excuse to do some tig welding lol 😂

Feeling like this is a slow progress, just want to get hands on so I can start to order fittings.

If you're using a self powered hub, sure you can add more just for the PWM signal off the header.  Just don't go too long distance otherwise the PWM signal will weaken and make sure the hubs are quality like the SPLITTY9 as well the HUBBY7 if you run out of USB headers on your MB both made by Aquacomputer.
 
Don't forget, the AQ6 is also a standalone controller, meaning you can run it w/out Windows or any software.  Some people could use it for their home theater for example.  It has on board memory to remember it's settings saved from either the software side or standalone display side.
 
Having two pumps will ensure one's always running if the other fails and with the AQ software, you could setup alarms for Windows shutdown but there's also another way but you'll have to read up the manual/guides as I forgot all about that but do remember it existed via jumping wires with the PSU to the controller for a shutdown trigger, etc.

Guessing the Acuacomputer is the best as everyone is surgesting it.

If I run that splitty9, can you still see the rpm? I pressure it will just see one on the set and not all? Also PWM will still work correctly right?

If the lt 6 is the best you can buy then I’ll go ahead and order it.

Can i set it to scale the fans from temp feeds on the water lines? As there is no point going of the cpu temp as its going to rocket regardless of overall temp of water, so wanted to set it so that when the water feed from pump to pc starts to climb then only then do the fans ramp up.

The Noctua NF-A14 PWM 2000rpm arrived today, 9 of them seems overkill :-)

Following on from my last post, how many temp probes does the z390 dark have on the board that I can use within bios for fan/pump control? Looks like a good few..?

I’ve basically decided to go soft tubing throughout as I don’t like the look of any of the hard-tube fittings as they are reliant on orings being compressed to grip the tube... pass.. the soft tubes lock properly and I’m sure they would be very hard to physically pull out!!

So going to go for 16/10mm pipe (soft), so wish to use disconnects, so want to know which ones (regardless of price) offer the best flow (lowest) pressure drop.

My logic on using 10mm pipe is that that the G1/2 thread size normally is a 9-10mm id, so a larger pipe is pointless when this is the main restriction, however I don’t wish to cause more flow restrictions with quick disconnects.

Function over form any day of the week.

I hear what your saying, and I'm sure MX4 is sound solution, but the other side of the coin new stuff comes out and people are unwilling to try/swap to it because they are already happy with what they have and trust... So the reviews are always bias, so I can only go off tests results where people (seem to anyways) be unbiased towards the results, as they have tried all and come to that conclusion. I'm sure in reality you can't go far wrong with any of them, just some might have the edge. 
 
So I thought today would be the day I could post some images of progress, however the Mo-Ra3 rad has arrived and its bent like a banana :( so its going to need to be replaced, so that's another 7+ days to wait.  
 
Can't believe how long this has taken to build even though I have the money, just can't get bits here faster.. madness.

I enjoy using Aquacomputer's DP Ultra.  I had ordered two of these bad boys.  Should last a while unless you're draining and refilling a lot like I have the last few years.  lol  What I would suggest if you're into the testing phase, just use distilled for testing things out and cleaning the gear preinstallation like the rads and blocks, etc. but don't let it sit or it could create issues to the loop without protections.  Once you're set, use the premix fluid.
