AE5 Noob Questions

Donnerstag, 4. August 2011, 14:13

I posted this at a watercooling forum but didn't get many
responses so I will try here. I apologize if you read it there also. This is my
first setup of an Aquaero 5 so I have many questions.

My setup

(1) AE5
(3) PA2's
(2) MCP-655 w/speed control
(2) flow meters
(2) inline temp sensors
(4) 4 temp probes
(1) bank of 8 GT1850's
(1) bank of 2 GT1850's
(1) bank of 4 GT1850's
(1) bank of 3 GT1850's

I am thinking the following:

Channel 1 = MCP-655
Channel 2 = (1) bank of 4 GT1850's
Channel 3 = (1) bank of 2 GT1850's
Channel 4 = MCP-655
Channel 5 = (1) bank of 3 GT1850's
Channel 6 = (1) bank of 8 GT1850's

1) Does the above channel layout look good or should I change something?

2) How do I tell which channel is which on the AE5 and PA2’s ?

3) Where do I hook up the inline flow meters, AQ brand ?

4) Where do I hook up the in-line temp sensors, AQ Brand ?

5) Where does the USB plug into the AE5? This is a little bit of a premature
question since the AE5 seems to be labeled but I haven't looked at the cable
yet. I am thinking it plugs into a USB 2.0 mobo header. Is that correct?

6) What functionality does the USB give me?

7) Can I use the USB to shut down the PC, instead of the power connector /
relay option?

8) How does the accessory power cable hook in for shutting down the system? Is
this needed if I use the USB cable? This is also a premature question. I have
looked at the 24 pin cable, AQ Brand, very closely yet.

9) If I use the power cable and relay connector to shut down the PC, when I cut
the one “loop wire” on the AQ 24 pin cable how do I wire it to the relay connector?
Which wire goes where?

10) Where should I hook up the temp probes that came with the AQ devices, to
the PA2's or the AE5?

11) Does the AE5 loose it's configuration if the PC is powered off?

Any other suggestions anyone can make would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
for taking the time to look and hopefully assist.

I'll do my best at answering the questions, though i may not be helpful on them all!

1) The channel layout looks ok, not sure if i'd put 8 fans on 1 channel though, you may want another Power Adjust to split them up!
2) You can label each channel, it's wise to write down which you have on each channel, then you can name them on the device/software!
3) The flow meters go in your loop, its a good idea to put on just after the CPU and one just after the GPU, they don't have to be AQ brand.
4) same with the temp sensors
5) yep plugs into a free header, only requires 6 of the pins instead of 12 (i think its 12, its half of the pins anyway!)
6) You get lots of functionality, you can use the IR remote as a keyboard, a mouse and other items (some sitll in development).
7) You can use the usb to shut it down, i now use the remote to shutdown my pc :)
8) The 24-pin cable is only for having power on the device when your pc is shutdown, im pretty sure its not used to shut the pc down, though i think eventually it will be used to shutdown, and power on!
9) unsure
10) the PA2's and AE5's have onboard temp sensors, they're for around your pc :)
11) All config is stored on the unit itself, and has the ability to log i think 10,000 lines or something also! So you're safe if you power down!


Hope some of this helped, i'm new to the Aquaero myself after getting mine a few days ago :)
