PSU molex > Aquaero, PowerAdjust 2, MultiSwitch

Tuesday, March 20th 2012, 11:01am

Hey guys, been lurking for a while but need some help now.

I have googled and searched the forum but cannot find a definative answer, apologies if I have missed it!

Does the Aquaero 5 XT, Poweradjust 2 and Multiswitch require all 4 wires from the PSU to the molex connector or can they all run just off the two 12 volt connections (Black/Yellow wires), does it effect anything, have any impact?

The reason for asking is for cleaner cable runs but my assumption is that the 12v is used to power the fans/pumps/led's etc... and the 5v is used to power the units themselves.

Thanks.

As and FYI, I found out from Sven that the Aquaero and Multiswitch DO need the 5v feed on the molex power connector, however the PowerAdjust 2's DO NOT use the 5v channel.

This will make wiring the back of the PA's a little easier and will certainly look cleaner.
