The description says:
"The poweradjust 2 is a controller which was optimized for the use with a Laing DDC pump but you can also use it for other things with a constant load of up to 25W at 12V. The maximum surge current can go up to 48W so you have enough reserves for the massive starting current that some pumps or fans generate. A freely configurable startboost allows you to make sure that for example a pump has enough time to spin-up before it is getting slowed down by the controller. That feature also works if the speed or flow rate signal gets interrupted."
So this is a controller optimize for pump usage but it can be used to power fans as well.
Im looking to build a watercooling loop, actually two loops, and im looking to see how much fans can be powered with a single controller.
I'll be having 3x120.4 radiators (also from aqua computer as these copper babies seem to be the best on the market) and 1x120.2
Thats gonna be 14x120 fans in single comfiguration or 28 in push pull configuration.
Ideally i would want all to be controlled via software through a Aquaero 5 XT Controller
Controller has 3x3pin Power output Fan Header, and 1x4pin PWM Fan Header
THe Power adjust 2 has 1x3 Pin Fan Header
I learned that 6 of them could be connected through each other and then through aqua bus to Aqua aero XT
That would be 9x3 pin Power and 1x4pin fan Header.
1)Would it be ok if i were to use Y header to use one controller to connect to 2 Fans ?
2)How much higher can i go, can i use one controller to power 4 Fans ?
Using a 5,125 bay with 3 Power adjusts, that costs 35 euros each powering only 3 fans, seems like a bad ideea, when i can get for instance this 8 chanell Laptron controller,
http://www.overclockers.com/lamptron-fc8…troller-review/, much cheaper
3)Can you list here the exact connectors the controller has and what can be done with each connector ?
4)Will there ever be another Version of power adjust optimizied for controlling fans only, say with 4x3 pin adapter or 4x4 pin PWM adapter ?
5)Will there ever be a water block for these adapters made ?
I would rather use a Power adjust so that i can controll everthing through aqua suite, so i need to know what exactly can be done with a single adapter.
I also want to know if going 6xPoweradjust makes sense or not, just for controlling fans. I need to know what else can one do with the unit.
I'll pretty much control everything else through aquaaero 5 XT, like temperatures, flow, etc (still need to figure out what the XT controller can really do).
6)Whats the difference betwen a 3 pin and 4 pin power controller ?
