Hi, Check the firmware of your tubemeter by conneting it directly to the USB (not via the Aquaero and associated cables) on your motherboard and running the aquasuite software. The software should display information separately about the tubemeter and check that the firmware is version 1.06. If not then you need to flash it which can only be done using this direct connection. You may need to ask for a link to this firmware if you dont have it in the aqausuite software. Make doubly sure you have ...
I have a multiswitch in my system controlling 4 internal lights and 8 LED's I don't have any programming skills as yet but does anyone have any tips on the scripting or macros so I can get say: The 4 lights and LED's to cycle on and off etc... when say you press button 8 on the multiswitch. Assign a button to control the LED's on and off instead of going into software to do it. My Multiswitch is connected directly to my MB via the USB.
Yes make sure you have connected your USB cables correctly, it is quite easy to believe you have done so. It works fine on my Vista PC.
I have now powered the Aquastream and I can report all seems to be working fine. I was also getting problems with the tubemeter reporting no level on boot-up which was causing the machine to emergency shut down on me. So far since the powering of the aquastream that too has now stopped so far. Once again thanks for providing such excellent quality products and now great software. One happy customer! I must go run and power my other machines Aquastream! SNIFFY
ok I will try and do this but I thought that was a bad idea.
Dear Aquacomputer, I like the new aquasuite software interface very much, you have iorned out alot of the bugs and it works pretty well indeed. The graphics are good too. My pump however when looking in the aquasteam tab, sometimes goes into deairation mode but I have no flashing light on the aquastream. With no sound from the pump itself in this mode. The flowmeter seems to stay constant too. Have you come across this before?
Got the Multiswitch working. Can you confirm that the firmware is 1.04 please.
Thanks for the quick reply. Now I just need to get the Multiswitch to work
Hi Guys, can you check I have the latest frimware for the following Multiswich (cannot read as will not show up in aquasuite) tubemeter 1.06 aquaero 4.11a Aquasuite 4.43 If not can you give me a link to the firmwares. Love what you have done with the new Aquasuite software. SNIFFER
I used the Aquacomputer AC fluid, only ever cleaned with a dry cloth. It must be down to overtightening. Have ordered the copper blocks but cannot find replacement block for the VR.
Hi guys, I have been re-doing my first water cooled PC and have noticed that the perspex blocks on my CPU (Cuplex XT) and Voltage regulator have become cracked around the screwed on water fittings and where they are held down via the alankey bolts. Has anyone noticed this before? Is my system getting too hot? Have I tightened everything too much? Can you get replacement perspex? My system is only a year old and I am worried now about leaks! SNIFFY
And did you try and find out your Tubemeter firmware, that could be the problem still.
Hi, can you tell me what version firmware the tubemeter has. I had a problem with mine until I flashed it to the latest firmware. Now it works like a treat. The Software is fantastic once you learn how to use it and the aquero is a brilliant controller so stick with it. You need to have the tubemeter connected to the MotherBoard directly (not via the Aquaero) so that Aquasuite can display the Firmware. Use the Aquasuite software to flash it to the latest in this state, before you reconnect it up...
Lovely peice of kit. Certainly beats my attempt at an outside radiator box. Might have to consider getting one, would it be ok to have both the pump in the Aquaduct and the normal Aquastream pump running together in series. Could that cause any problems? Wish this was avaliable last year, could of saved me hours of time making my Radbox:
Guys some real Beauties out there, the colours are fantasic especially from JPTS. Was going to show you my rigs but they don't quite match the level of workmanship you boys produce and I really thought I had done a good job too. Very impressed! SNIFFY
Great stuff, will try that too. However I think my mulitswitch will be connected via usb now anyway. Glad you got it working its a great system.
will certainly do that, I think I had the same problem as you when I tried it and gave up cos i had no use for the multiswitch at the time because the PWM did not like my fans. When I get round to testing it I will let you know. SNIFFY
Does the Multiswitch have the latest firmware, have you flashed that yet? Also how are you connecting the multiswitch to the aquaero. What jumper do you have the multiswitch location jumper set too? I have not yet tried my multiswitch with the aquaero as I am still building that PC. I will have that completed in the next few weeks so I will have more experience with it, so maybe able to help further later. I think that first you should make sure all the firmwares are upto date.
Oops , just seen it in the downloads section. Thanks shoggy.
Where do you get hold of that?
I'm going to try Linux at some time soon, is the Aquasuite software available in linux format and is it avaliable in open source. It does not seem to be in the download section. SNIFFY
Where are these upto date pictures?
Can these be used on items such as voltage regulators both on your graphics card and MB, or are they only for your ramblocks only. I was concerned that they left an oily residue which could be conductive? The Thermal pads are shown below: I am planning to use it on my Voltage regulators on my MB in conjunction with this item: and on my Grpahics card on the voltage regulators there and the chips around the main chip. Any ideas and tips, or should I just use the artic silver on these items? Any he...
Is it ok to use your blue heat sink pad sold for the ramblock as a thermal conductive over the voltage regulators on the Grahics card. Should I put these over the other bits bar the chip where I will use the artic silver stuff. I ask cos they seem to produce an oilly residue which I was worried may damage the card? I think it even shows it on you installation manual, can you put my mind at rest over the use of them.
Your aquastream if you have one may have the jumper set to deairreation mode check that one out too.
Ok sounds like you may have some stuff incorrectly connected. I would diconnect the aquaero from your PC and simply power that by the single molex connector. No need to worry at this stage about the standby power and the emergency shutdown capability just yet. Get it all working then try and set that up. The PC should still boot with the Aquaero not connected to it as the Aquaero can work as a stand alone item provided it has it own power supply. I am not familliar with your pump does it use the...
that was tricky but done it now
ok clever stuff, but how exactly do you do that and my biggest question is how do you get the rubber seal in its just a few mm to short and keeps comming out of the rubber guide
What is the purpose of the two allen key nuts on the aquabox either end of the top water inlets. you can see them in the pic on the shop website
Sure I understand that, are the screws to tight should the ones around the chip be very tight to compress that red disc? Mine are not that tight but doing up the plastic ones makes the card bend alot more. I cannot position the block any other way due to the holes so how may I have not mounted it correctly. Any advice
Nice, how do you get all your wires hidden, there just seems to be so many to deal with.
Cheers Nitrix, thanks for the reassuring comment. Can't wait too see if its going to work. Still alot to do though.
My XFX 7900 GTX graphics card has one of your 7800-7900 water blocks on it. With the screws tightened up so the components that need cooling touch it, the card always ends up bending. Enough in fact to slightly impede the next PCI slot. My XFX 7900 GT card in the other watercooled PC does have the same block on it and does not seem to bend as much and works fine. Although the SLI connector is covered by the block, but I don't intend to use that. The SLI is not covered in the other cards case. My...
Good question Nitrix, I wonder if they will respond. I would imagine that all the pc's are watercooled. Must be a nice and quite office to work in.
Quoted from "Infiltraitor" Strange indeed. I always thought connecting power to both the Aquastream controller and Aquaero was a no-no? Your certainly right in my case Infiltraitor, when I did that to mine I got all sorts of strange results. Well if it works for Sufu than I guess thats ok.
Howdy chaps just some advice. I have one PC that has been running for a while and I need to rebuild it so I can investigate some issues and attach the temp sensors near the intended measured components. I have pretty minimal airflow in the case in an attempt to make things quite and as far as I can tell my temps all look ok. However my sensors are not really placed to give accurate measurements hence the rebuild. As a guide the water seems to be cooled by 1-2 deg passively and I get a max flowra...
Good well done, Its strange that some people need to power the Aquastream as well. My system works fine with that unpowered. Anyway, well done hope you enjoy your water cooling. SNIFFY
That is correct, and I take it you can see the number 1 pin on the tubemeter.
Just to clarify the Black wires are the GND wires
Quoted from "Sufu" are you saying the black wire should NOT be on pin #1? I know it goes NC GND GreenWire +5v. Is it supposed to be connceted like in the pic a few posts above? That's how ive had it so far. Ok having read your post again you have confused me, the picture above is how you should connect it. The black wires should be on the no 2 pin not the 1 pin. I still don't know which way you have connected it.
Yes that is why your system does not work. The first pin (Labled so on the tubemeter) in not connected to anything at all, a blank pin. This is the same as on the Motherboard too. If you consult your MB manual you probably get two USB connectors together, one has 5pins and the one below it has 4 pins (Certainly on all my MB's anyway) The MB manual will say N/C for this 5th pin (No one pin on your tubemeter, with my convention) which I think means Not connected for that pin, the design being, I g...
Yeah do have another look at that connection. On your 5 pin connector you will see that one pin has no wires comming out of it. Then there are two black wires comming out of the same hole, then a green one and then a blue and then a red one. Make sure that the hole with no wires comming out of it goes onto the number 1 pin of your tubemeter. When I connected it up wrong I had placed the black wire on number 1 pin, giving all your symptoms.
Right, now would you believe me if I had exactly the same issues that you describe. You have not though cleared up if you can get the tubemeter to blink within the software yet, if you can't you have definately connected the tubemeter incorrectly from my experience. I had exactly the same symptoms when I was trying to get mine to work, had funny characters showing, the aquaero reported the pump not to be connected when the tubemeter was even though it actuarly was still running. The tubemeter di...
What happens if you try another molex connector into your tubemeter maybe off the same powerline thats connected to your aquaero? As far as I can tell it should work, one further question is your tubemeter blinking at all now. Within the aquasuite software can you switch that off and on. can you adjust any of its settings now. Also even though the pump shows its changing mode does it seam to do the same thing all the time. Can you report back
Can you also confirm that the aquastream is not powered by the molex power supply as well as the aquastream cable.
And what about the connection of the tubemeter to the five pin plug is that correct can you show me a pic of your connection
The molex has to be powered too, that is how the tubemeter gets its electrial power. The USB has a 5volt output on it when you connect it to the USB on the motherboard. Without that you need the 5volts from the molex to power the Tubemeter as it dose not come from the Aquaero like the connection between the Aquastream does. Also, and I mean, make absolutely sure you have connected the 5pin cable to the tubemeter as shown in the picture above. I got the same errors you have with that incorrectly ...
Fantastic, my PC really looks strange with it in silver.
Cool, thanks for the info. I assume there will be problems removing it now the Artic silver paste has had time to cure on the components. I have made some changes in my mind since I finished the build and I need to clean out the Cuplex XT as I think there is some sand in there from the Rad. Just need the enthusiasm to do it, as I will have to also finish my main water cooled PC first, thats now been put back even further since your information has enlightend me. Probably use the Artic Silver adh...
Black faceplate for the Multiswitch. You have Black faceplates for everything else, why not this as well : SNIFFY
