Aquaero 6 question

Sunday, August 31st 2014, 3:17am

So im building a pretty big system basically about 80 fans, 10 radiators, etc, ill post a link to build log if you want to see it..

But here is my question

1- i will be using 2 d5 pumps with this top: http://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-d5-dual-top-…ack-acetal.html, the pumps that i ordered were the regular Aqua Computer D5 pump motor with speed signal but im wondering since ill be using the Aquaero 6 if i should exchange them for the Aqua Computer D5 pump motor with USB and aquabus interface, i dont think ill be messing much with the speed so i didnt see a point, i asked if they had an internal water temperature sensor but answer was no.. So not sure whats the advantage beside speed control

2- So what else should i buy, to add to the aquaero? i want to buy a water block but cant find them, i want temp sensors and flow sensors but not sure which ones to buy :(

edit: so by reading this forums, someone mentioned that the Aquaero 6 can detect if the pump stopped working, generate an alarm and shut the system down?

edit2: btw this is my build log http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=749854 not sure if i can link other forums, if not let me know and ill delete it and add the pics here

Point 1:
The Aquaero has two purposes from my point of view: control and monitoring. Once set up, I also believe I would not be changing the pumps much, but monitoring (your first edit) you can insure they are both working and how hard. With a dual pump setup you may not be aware if one fails otherwise.

Point 2:
Waterblock(s) do not connect to the Aqaero, you monitor your temperatures from the motherboard or graphics cards.
For water temps I plan to use 2 of these, screw one into the radiator inlet & one into the radiator outlet and a hose barb into each..
For air temps I plan to use several of these, one for ambient and 1 on the air discharge (hot) side of each radiator.
As I plan to push 200 to 250 liters per hour through my system, for a flow sensor I plan to use this If you read the product description you will see other flow sensor options.

Hope this gets you started,
