Ok, I remember reading an article SOMEWHERE on wiring a switch for your pump, so when using a relay you can have the pump be on w/ out the computer being on. But I can't find it!

The main reason I need the article is to get the part # for the switch at radio shack.

Thanks to anyone who knows what I am talking about OR knows the Radio Shack part # for any switch that'll work.

Okay someone tell me if I am wrong but the amperage draw on most pumps is pretty small. So any switch that meets the amperage requirements you want is fine.

#275-322
3 amps

#275-636
6 amps, might be overkill

Just wire the switch in parallel with the relay

Good Luck

I just have my pump pluged in to the UPS...

If the UPS is on, the pump is on. The computer can never turn on and have me "forget" the pump is on.

Why would anyone turn a water cooled computer off ROTFLMAO! Unless you must have perfect still and quiet, I propose anyone can sleep with a watercooled computer in the room...

Just something to think about

Same here.. the plug goes right out the case and into the UPS.

What's fun it putting the computer on hibernate, then turning off the master switch. When I come back into Windows, MBM reads below 30c.
