doubt about the connection of 2 pumps MCP35X to my aquaero 5XT

Monday, June 9th 2014, 11:57am

Greetings to all:
I need your advice about which option to choose to connect my 2 pumps MCP35X to my aquaero 5XT , on the subject's monitor RPM pumps ...............I've these pumps in the top dual EK V.2.
¿ What would be the best option ?

1-connect the two pumps at Aquaero fan connector No. 4 in PWM mode with a 4-pin Y splitter , monitoring the RPM of a single pump

2-connect the two pumps in the same way as in the previous option but with a splitter that has an additional 3-pin connector , connecting said connector to another connector for fan in the Aquaero , and can also monitor the RPM of both pumps , but sacrificing thus for possible use with fans.

There are more options? (I have 4x Poweradjust 2)

Thanks in advance

What I do is connect to the #4 fan header but powered from the psu....I only monitor rpm's from one pump but pwm signal from both pumps. Never really saw a need to monitor rpm from both pumps (MCP35x2).

That is also the way I had it connected ............... however , I read in some thread that some connect in this way ( monitoring both RPM's ) and wanted to know if there is any real benefit that I'dont know in this way.

None that I can see, just takes up another header only to monitor the other pump. But this is the internet, people will tell you every possible way to do something. 8)
