New to Aquaero 6 XT - setup question.

Saturday, January 13th 2018, 5:06pm

Hi,

I had planned to move all my fans off the motherboard headers onto a Splitty9, but now I am wondering if it would be better to leave them all connected to the motherboard.

Will Aquaero control motherboard fan headers?

I have the following:

Gigabyte Aorus X399 Gaming 7 motherboard.
11 EK Vardar 140ER 500-2000 rpm fans (.35a each).
8 Fan Headers (1A each).
Sys1: 1 Fan
Sys2,3,4: 2 Fans each via Y splitter.
CPU & CPUOPT: 2 Fans each via Y splitter.
Sys5,6: EK DDC pumps.

The motherboard fan controller is less than desirable, but if Aquaero can manage the headers it might be better than using the Spitty9.

I guess I'll figure out if AQ6 can control motherboard headers soon enough.

I think what I can do is:

4 radiator fans to FAN1 on AQ6 (1.4a max total)
4 positive pressure side fans to FAN2 on AQ6 (1.4a max total)
1 rear exit fan & 2 front intake fans to FAN3 on AQ6 (1.05a max total)
2 EK DDC to FAN4 on AQ6 (signal only, molex power)

I do not believe the aquaero can control anything on the motherboard, other than perhaps power down.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I think I'm going to go with my 4 fan header config and control fans by zone.

1. Radiator
2. Side positive pressure
3. Front intake + Rear exit.
4. DDC pump signal.

Just got back from MIcrocenter with some extra y splitters :D
