It is a 6 channel fan controller and it also has 6 temperature sensors. On sensor 1 (far left) it reads 25.6c that is the inlet temperature of the water in the system. The other one is reading 26.0c and that is the outlet temperature of the water. The water moves so fast that it barely changes temperature between those two points. After the systems been running 10-20 minutes it all evens out.

I have the four case fans inside on the first four channels on the controller so I can control them all separately. Then I have nine fans (yes nine) on the 5th channel on the controller. Now I would not recommend this for a cheapo fan controller but this one is high powered and designed to run that many fans off one connector, those nine fans are connected to my external radiator which sits under my desk (not pictured). I actually had to use this controller just to power all the fans on the radiator otherwise I wouldn't use one at all I don't think.

The radiator sits underneath my desk connected to the case through the black tubes you can see in the bottom left.

This is what it looks like (This is not my picture)
Image

The radiator is a 1080mm one by Phobya, it's very large. That's the same surface area as three individual 360mm radiators. I then have 9x120mm fans on just one side of it. But unlike in that image above I use all black fans with black blades on mine so they are not as noticeable and I use very silent (<12db) fans on it. Cools excellent just because of its size.

Cool, i thought you had one of those. I want to get a Corsair Obsidian 800D, and i believe you can put 2: 360mm Radiators, one on the top and one on the front. How cold does your water get?

About 26c

Image

This is it just sitting idle at 4.375GHz on CPU and 800MHz on each GPU (100MHz OC on the graphics).

If I was using air coolers on everything the CPU would be about 65c and the GPU's would be about 75-80c each.
