man kann aber nur 6 LED Controller in der aquasuite pro Strip erstellen.

Du kannst einen erstellten Controller mehrfach verwenden bzw. mehrfach zuweisen. Damit kannst du die Anzahl der benötigten Controller reduzieren.

Die LED Effekte werden im Gerät selbst berechnet, und nicht in der Aquasuite Software. Deshalb ist die Anzahl der Controller limitiert, damit der geräteinterne Prozessor nicht überlastet wird.

Denn nutzt du einen OCTO oder QUADRO für die RGBpx Funktion?

Mit einem Farbwerk 360 hat man VIEL mehr Möglichkeiten zum Einstellen. Da sind bis zu 20 Controller möglich.

Allerdings würde ich mir für die RGBpx ebenfalls wünschen, dass man die Reihenfolge anpassen könnte, wie die Effekte über den Strip laufen.
Ich nutze u.A. die Thermaltake Riing Trio übers Farbwerk 360.



Also wenn ich die Reihenfolge der LEDs anordnen könnte wie im Bild, würden die Effekte über den Lüfter als ganzes laufen und nicht Ring für Ring. Ich hoffe, dass es verständlich ist, was ich meine.

Wie meinst du das genau bzw. wie ist das möglich?

Man kann zum Beispiel ein Controller über den kompletten Bereich von 80 LEDs legen und darüber noch mal 4 Controller (bei 4 Lüfter), welche die einzelnen Bereiche (zum Beispiel Rahmen) mit einem anderen Effekt/Farbe überschreiben.

Beim Farbwerk kann man auch einen Controller zu mehreren Bereichen zuordnen.

Ich habe mal versucht, das bildlich darzustellen.
Meine Riing Trio haben 30 LEDs pro Lüfter:
-12 äußerer Ring vorne
-12 äußerer Ring hinten
-6 Lüfterhub:

Der unterste Lüfter ist der erste in der Reihe

Mein Standardeffekt zurzeit:

Als Hintergrund für den Versuch habe ich mal einen Regenbogen über alle 90 LEDs gelegt

Ein 2. Controller (einfache Farbe Orange) der 6 LEDs groß ist, liegt auf dem Hub des ersten Lüfters.

Den 2. Controller mehrfach zugewiesen, dass er auf dem Hub des 2. Lüfters ebenfalls erscheint.

einen 3. Controller (1 LED; einfache Farbe Türkis) mehrfach zugewiesen das jede 2. LED des ersten Lüfters angesprochen wird

Viele Controller zur färbung des 2. Lüfters (Demo Anzahl Controller)

Noch eine weitere Demo der Mehrfachzuweisung.

Zu Mehrfachzuweisungen und Überlagerungen hab ich mit meinem Farbwerk 360 noch kein Limit entdeckt.

Außerdem hat hat Farbwerk eine einstellbare Transparenz in den Effekten, was es möglich macht mehrere verschiedene Effekte übereinander zu lagern.

Meinst du das oder gibt's noch mehr Möglichkeiten, die ich bisher nicht rausgefunden habe?

Nicht mit OCTO / D5 Next.

Wer wirklich wert auf RGB setzt sollte sich ein Farbwerk zulegen.

Your problem #1 with the fan LEDs in an interesting one. I understand exactly what the issue is and why you want to be able to "jump over" a group of LEDs. This could be as simple as an Include / Exclude button for each LED in effects that sequence from LED to LED. Even better would be the ability to individually specify each LED and it's order in the string. I think iCue allow this but I refuse to install or deal with iCue. I will add my name to your request for this feature to be added in some form. The 6 controller limit on the Octo RGBpx port I think is due to limitations of the micro-controller in the Octo.

Separately, it's worth mentioning that there is no synchronization between RGBpx ports on separate devices. You can't sync ports on 2 different Farbwerk360's, or the RGBpx port on an Octo with one on a D5 Next (for example). Aquacomputer devs said that RGBpx port synchronization is coming in a future release. No details of capabilities or limitations but any sync is better than no sync.

Maybe Aquacomputer will release an enhanced Farbwerk360 controller. With some RGB fans having 30+LEDs in them now, it would be nice if they increased the 90 LED limit. At some point (spec is 54 watts), the SATA power will max out but I think they could increase the MAX # LEDs to 120 or even 150 LEDs per port. They could limit brightness for full White if necessary. Maybe give the user the ability to trade brightness for increased max LED limit. Another option is to use the maximum power that the SATA connection is rated for (54 watts), and make that much power available to any / all ports. 54 watts @5VDC is 10.8 amps. At 250ma per LED, that 10.8 amps can drive 432 LEDs. Allow the software to use that much power across the 4 RGBpx ports in any combination. Port 1 could have 432 LEDs on it with 0 LEDs on the other 3 ports. Or ports 1 and 2 could each have 216 LEDs, Or ports 1 and 2 could each have 100LEDs, port 3 has 50, so port 4 can have up to 182 LEDs. If the LEDs draw more than 25ma each (maybe full white full bright), then start reducing brightness.

Come on Aquacomputer - RGBpx is great, but maybe its time for an refresh of the hardware and some additional control features in the software. Cross-Device Sync, customizable sequencing, steerable power, and MO' LEDs!

Aquacomputer did respond to my request to increase the LED limit to greater than 90, possibly by allowing the user to trade brightness for LED quantity. Their answer was NO. They said 90 LEDs is a hard limit and it will never be more. They also told me that RGBpx port sync was not a priority for them but they may get to it someday.

Regarding the Phanteks D30. I bought a 3-pack of them. I learned several things you may not be aware of.

#1 - There are 30 LEDs in a D30 fan, not 32 like the spec says.

#2 - The LEDs are not individually controllable. They are mirrored in sets of 2. When I set Aquasuite to light 1 LED, 2 LEDS light up. When I set Aquasuite to light 2 LEDs, 4 LEDs light up. When I set Aquasuite to 15 LEDs, all 30 LEDs light up. I do not know why they did this. It is the only RGB fan I know of that does not have individually addressable LEDs.
The LEDs in a pair are physically located opposite of each other. It you think of the fan as a clock, LEDs 1 and 2 are tied together at the 12 o'clock position. LEDs 3 and 4 are tied together with LED 3 being at 1 o'clock and LED 4 being at 11 o'clock. LEDs 5 and 6 are tied together with LED 5 being at 2 o'clock and LED 6 being at 10 o'clock, and so on until you get to LEDs 29 and 30 which meet at 6 o'clock. This arrangement throws off the current and power calculations in a Farbwerk360 because when it thinks its driving 15 LEDs it is really driving 30 LEDs. Also, RGB effects like Laser look strange because the LED pairs are arranged in mirrored positions. I hope that how I am describing this makes sense. Its kind of hard to explain.

#3 - The 3-pack only has 2 fan connection cables. If you are linking the 3 fans together, you need 1 fan connection cable, but if you want to use the fans separately, you need 3 fan connection cables, but they only give you 2. When I buy 3 fans, I expect 3 fan cables.

The D30 is a good radiator fan, but the specs are inferior to the T30 and the Lion Li Unifan and SL-Infinity fan, despite the fact that the D30 is 30mm thick. The blades are not Liquid Crystal Polymer (like the T30 and Noctua NF-A12x25), and the blade length is smaller than the T30 blades because the frame is thicker. The white plastic fan blades reflect the LED light well but all things considered I am under-impressed with them. I don't understand why they tied the LEDs together in pairs, or why there are only 30 LEDs when the specs on their website clearly say there are 32 LEDs, or why 3 fans come with only 2 fan cables.

This is maybe no different with the Lian Li UNI-FAN SL-INF. They also have 40 digitally addressable RGB LEDs per fan, which are only specified with 20 LEDs in SignalRGB. The hub or middle of the fan has a certain number of LEDs which are responsible for lighting the rotor and then there are the remaining LEDs in the frame which are divided into the front and back. Front and back are not individually controllable (at least the program doesn't allow it) and if you control 1 LED, 2 LEDs light up.
