Just got my new Scalar Flow indicator from EK and installed it on my graphics card water block......
 
It is a bit on the big side for a flow indicator but does look cool mounted to and hanging off of the graphics card water block :)

Cool GTX
Nice Rig
 
that is a big flow meter indicator
 
your M.2 needed that extra fan, or is it just a precautionary measure ?
 
I like your fill port solution

Thanks.
 
Kind of cool though, replaces the stock EK terminal and the LEDs are not too glaring.
 
Both M.2s run high 40s under load with the extra fan on them (one also under sound card).
Mostly precautionary but the lower one does not get much air flow as it is partially under the sound card as the slot is in line with that PCI-e slot on the board.
The way i have my res, it blocks some air flow from the front fans across the mother board.
 
On the fill port, I used the existing two holes in the top side rail of the case and made a little mount out of plex and screwed it to the side rail with a couple of mother board standoffs.
worked out sweet.

Nice mod on the fill port, and the flow meter looks good. It's a great looking build. +1 :)

Nice rig, does the flow meter have an output that you can monitor the flow rate with software such as AIDA64 or HWiNFO?

If they can't get up to operating temperature of 50c or above, they will die prematurely. You are killing your M.2 card's NAND memory chips. They are supposed to run hot. They are designed to run hot. They die sooner if you don't let them warm up.
Optimally, you want them to IDLE at 40 to 50c. If they idle at 40 to 50c, they will retain their data longer for reads. When they are writing, they will heat up, and that is good. During writes, its good for them to heat up to 60 to 70c. By not blowing a fan on them, you allow them to heat up and cool down naturally and operate as they are supposed to. By blowing a fan on them, you force them to run cool and they will die quicker.

Why you keeping on on about NAND. It up to him!

Thanks. No, it is only a visual meter.
