How many fans?s
Monday, June 6th 2005, 12:53am
How many fans can you attach to the aquaero... does it use the 3 pin connector... i thinkk you can have 4 fans .. does this mean you have 4 * 3 pin connectors on the aquaero? If this is the case could i use a "3 Pin Molex Y Splitter" - http://www.leftclicks.co.uk/userimgs/revoltec/rc024_rb.jpg
would i loose any speed to the fans if i was to use this (or double use this ... a splitter on a splitter..)
sorry for all the questions lol
Ed
ps the fans i would use are - 4 * Papst Fan 80mm 8412 N/2GLE 12dBa Ultra Silent and possibly 15 * Papst 4412 F2 G/LL 120mm Fan 19dBA 3 Pin.

The Aquaero has four 3-Pin connectors. You can use a Y-adapter on them but take care of the power consumption, it should not exceed 5 watt for each channel.
As an example: the Papst 4412 F2 G/LL uses up to 0,72 watt. You could connect seven (total of 5,04 watt) of them on one channel but I would not really recommend that.
Aquabus describes a data-channel and not a stand alone product
Aquabus is like USB. That bus enables you to connect other devices to a Aquaero.
I bet you will like the upcoming multiswitch. It has eight channels where you can connect fans, LEDs, cold cathodes or whatever you want.
And one question: why do you need 19 fans in your system?! :o
edit: little update *g* If you own a Aquaero 4.0 you can use up to 10 watt on each channel.
5 watt on the old version 3.07.

Hmmm.... are you speaking in reference to firmware or hardware? I think you told me that I had a version 4 hardware and now I have a version 4.05E firmware. So can I now use up to 10 watts on each channel?
A side issue is whether I can take two fans and hook them together but only use one or the RPM sensing wires. IOW can I hook the fans up in parallel but only use one of the fans in RPM sensing and thus control both fans through the feedback of the one sensed fan?
