Zitat von »sebastian« I think your loop have some other problems. Frankly, so do I. I'm waiting for my Aquacomputer flow sensor to arrive; let's just hope it works better than poweradjust.

Zitat von »sebastian« Zitat von »Zachariasz« he most compelling issue is why my 18W pump is running on 14-15W? The pump has a absolute maximum power consumption of 18W. When you power up the pump the power consumption is for a short time more than 50W. The power consumption is also depend on the resistance in your water loop and some other individual parameters. That would make perfect sense; unfortunately, RPM of pump connected to poweradjust is lower than connected directly to molex (~4550 vs...

Zitat von »sebastian« Zitat von »Zachariasz« Then I've connected the same fan to poweradjust: the readings was like 11.4V@0.12A Yes, that is fine, this ist NORMAL. OK, if you say so. I don't really care about fans. The most compelling issue is why my 18W pump is running on 14-15W?

Well, that not seems normal, at least not to my understanding. First issue is: how low the current has to be so poweradjust would supply 12V? I have connected regular 120mm fan to aquaero: the readings was like 11.9V@0.08A. And that's absolutly OK. Then I've connected the same fan to poweradjust: the readings was like 11.4V@0.12A. And although poweradjust supplied ~0.3W more, the fan rpm was a bit lower. Second issue: AFAIK Laing 3.25 18W is called so because it consumes power of 18W. Still 11V ...

Hello, I just got my Aquacomputer Poweradjust 3 Standard and connected 18W Laing pump to it. But I was very suprised when I saw its readings in aquasuite. The pump runs on stable 11.0V and ~1.28-1.36A despite power being set to 100%. What's going on? Why there is no proper 12V@1.5A? Well, I did not expected perfect 12V, but something like 11.8-11.9V (that's the voltage of fans connected to aquaero 5). I also tried to connect fan instead of pump, then the voltage was like 11.3-11.4V. Paraphasing ...

One more thing: what about aquaero waterblock? The description says it "significantly increases the maximum power output". Does the "significantly" is enough for 18W pump?

I see, that's what I was looking for, thanks.

Hello, I have a Laing DDC 3.25 pump (3 pin, no PWM) and I would like to control it via my aquaero 5. Unfortunately, while lowering the voltage the "electronics temp." rises quickly and upon reaching 100'C, a voltage goes back to 100% until temperature falls and so on. Can I do anything about it? Also, is it safe to connect pump directly to motherboard and control it from BIOS?
