Help with Aquaero

Friday, May 23rd 2008, 10:17pm

Ok, so the 4.0 version of the Aquaero supports up to 10 watts per channel, correct?

I'm wanting to put 3 fans on each channel. Each fan has a max of .3 amps. that's 3.6 watts each, for a total of 10.8.

Is that 10 watt max a hard number, or more of a suggestion. :)

Is there any amount of cooling or something that will allow it to run 3 fans without burning out a channel?

Hi

First:
Each channel is limited to 10 watts max., the prob is that the three fans that you want to use need 10.8 watts when already runing, but need more watts to start up.
That first start up burst can kill your Aquaero!... Im not sure about it, but it can happen!

Second:
The over all Limit of the 4 Fan-Channels is 30 watts!
So your 12 Fans need far too much Power and will kill your Aquaero for sure!  
Sorry das ich anstaat ein h ein n geschriben habe !!!

Sure, and kill my $175 us device.. no thanks.. I can hook up a fanamp to it, (or in my case 4) and that will give me 100 total watts.

Why can't they design something that actually produces some wattage? Hell, nowadays, you can get single fans that pull more than 10 watts.

Come on Shoggy, give us the goods.
