Help configuring Aquasuite

Mittwoch, 11. März 2026, 13:07

Hi guys!

I have been water cooling my computers for probably over 20 years but only recently moving all my stuff to the Aqua Computer ecosystem and I would really appreciate any suggestions on how to best configure it. My goal is low temperatures with moderate noise levels.

System specs:

MOBO: Rog Crosshair X870E Hero
CPU: 9950X3D with Optimus Signature V3 block
GPU: 5090 with Alphacool Core block
Pumps: 2x D5 Next in series (EK XTOP Revo dual top with a reservoir attached to it)
Flow Next sensor.
Octo controller with a temp probe that sits just outside the case.
2x 360 radiators, 60mm thick
6x Phanteks T30 120mm fans connected to the Octo.

This is a rough diagram of my loop:


Fans are configured with a curve based in a DeltaT between ambient and water temperature from the Flow Next. It ramps up the speed of the fans from 800rpm to 3000rpm linearly, from 3C to 17C DeltaT
I use a curve instead of a target temperature because the ambient of the room changes significantly between the cold and hot months of the year.



Thank you!

That's a pretty nice system... I would be interested in seeing the ambient temperature over time as the system cycles between low load and full load

Thank you! That means I am not doing anything grossly wrong :D

I have taken your advice and configured Aquasuite to send all sensor data by MQTT to my Unraid server (Aquasuite > Mosquitto > Telegraf > InfluxDB > Grafana). Now all sensor data is being logged and saved.

I don't believe your ambient sesor is reading "ambient", it mirrors your case temperature exactly, with a 6° offset. Ambient should be a relatively straight line, regardless of system load. The sensor is too near a heat source that fluctuates with system load.

That is a nice looking dashboard! I know that Aquasuite can export sensor data to an MQTT Broker, but I have never tried doing it. Google Gemini says your pipeline is called a TIG Stack (Telegraf, InfluxDB, Grafana). The sensor data gets sent to Mosquitto. Telegraf subscribes to Mosquitto to acquire the data, add tags, and pushes the data to InfluxDB. Grafana queries InfluxDB to get the data, then formats it and displays it in graphical format. Is this sort of correct?

Hello! I'm curious whether you considered having a coolant temperature sensor, or maybe why you didn't use the included Aquasuite temp sensor attached to something within the loop (ie attached to a radiator perhaps).

I'm also struggling with figuring out how to use OCTO and Aquasuite with my own custom loop. Danke!

I have checked with the desk thermometer and it is spot on. It is a very small room and the heat from the 2 radiators really elevate ambient temp when on full load.
The thermal probe is sticking out from the front of the PC case about 5cm.

That is correct. It is a common way to ingest and display data in Grafana :)
The hardest part was adjusting the InfluxDB queries in Telegraf and Grafana to get the data formatted correctly.

Both D5 pumps and the flow sensor have water temperatures. I use the one in the flow sensor to calculate Delta-T between water and ambient. For ambient I use the probe that came with my OCTO. I also have another probe inside the case to monitor temperature there.

I was not concerned about the accuracy of the sensor, but 5CM is a very close.
Radiation from the radiator affects the sensor, yielding a lower Δt.
In your chart, every time there is a load increase, there is corresponding ambient rise.

I am just learning about how MQTT is structured, so I have a ways to go before I could accomplish what you have. I have tried importing time/date stamped temp sensor data exported from Aquasuite into Excel, and recall having to fight with the way time/date is formatted in the Aquasuite export.

If you have a small second computer (or even a Raspberry PI) where you can run some docker containers it is easy to achieve.
To export the data I use an Output (under Playground in Aquasuite). The data is sent to the MQQT server in JSON format.
If you are interested I can share my configuration.
