EK Announces EK-Loop Connect Temperature Plug Sensor

EK-Loop Connect - Temperature Plug Sensor is an NTC (negative temperature coefficient) coolant temperature sensor. It allows users to get a precise coolant temperature measurement and to fine-tune the radiator fan speed for an optimal balance between acoustics and performance. The coolant temperature data can also be used to set up an emergency shutdown procedure if the temperature gets too high, preventing overheating of the system and possible malfunctions.

The body of the temperature sensor plug is made of CNC machined brass with a high-quality Nickel finish, while the seal is made with a quality EPDM rubber O-ring. The G1/4 thread and low installment height allow for easy installation in any unused port in the custom liquid cooling loop. It can be connected to the EK-Loop Connect control hub or a motherboard temperature sensor connector.
Technical specifications:
  • Finish: Nickel
  • The outer diameter: 16.5 mm
  • Installed height: 8 mm
  • Thread: G1/4", 4.5 mm male thread length
  • O-ring material: EPDM 50
  • Temperature probe type: NTC, 10 KΩ at 25°C
  • Temperature sensing range: 0°C to 90°C
  • Connector: 2-pin
  • Cable length: 500 mm
Availability and Pricing

EK-Loop Connect - Temperature Plug Sensor is available for order through the EK Webshop or EK Partner Reseller Network with a MSRP of 5.90€.

EK-Loop Connect is End of life according to their homepage but I guess that there are some units around. Maybe they should downplay that connection possibility.

Negative temperature void coefficient? Hope the tip is not pure graphite!

Maybe they're releasing a newer updated hardware controller? The current one is somewhat limited on the ARGB control since you can't control the six headers independently but rather shares the same signal across all of them.

Throwing in some reactor physics terminology to try and spice up and sell a simple temperature probe.

ACKSHUALLY the negative void coefficient is a safety feature because reactivity decreases as voids from steam bubbles, loss of coolant, etc form. Chernobyl had a positive void coefficient because it was poorly (cheaply) designed.

Yes, I remember (and know) :D I just could not resist trolling a little.
