Hi guys I'm ordering an Aquero 5 XT and have a few questions about its capabilities.

I have 3x480 radiators with a set of 4 fans on each radiator and I wanted to be able to connect each set of fans to its own channel. (and be able to monitor them and regulate the rpm)

so that would be 4 fans per channel on the Aquero on each of the Aquero fan channels. (4 fans per channel)

-Is this possible?

-Will i be able to get the full potential from each of the fans?

-Is it possible to run this set-up with the stock cooler?

I'm also getting 1x PA2 to run a second flow meter off and possibly lighten the load on the Aquero unit and run the case intake and out-take fans off of it.

4 water temp monitors and then also monitoring a few other temps in the system.

2x flow meters

and then a few cathodes ect.. (which i would like to be able to turn off and on)

The fans I'm using are the following http://www.aquatuning.de/product_info.ph…120x38mm--.html

thanks in advance for any support or help you can give me

oh one other thing.

I have no issues with water-cooling the Aquero however I would prefer not to as its just added heat on my GPU loop and the block to me looks very restricting i haven't been able to find any numbers on the flow rate of the water-block and info regarding this would also be greatly appreciated

ah yeah thanks heaps I might end up getting the water-block then, the cathodes are a bit of a must I had them sent over from some company I cant remember in Europe last year, I generally like to stay away from cathodes as to me there a bit tacky but these are amazing little things using them to back light a reservoir.

I did want to be able to control them off and on but they aren't exactly bright cathodes anyway so probably wont make much of a difference if I wanted to get some sleep.

Does there voltages or the fact that they use a converter wreak havoc with some controllers?

ah okay, thanks heaps Death your a legend I've been water cooling for a few years now but I've taken it to a new level for this build so i am doing allot of custom wiring and what not and its good to know these things ^.^

I'm not using a stock ccfl inverter im using one of these which does say it has voltage protection so i assume that's what you were talking about hopefuly anyway

I dont suppose you know the best type of solder to use on well the majority of wiring inside a pc, fan wiring molex pins sata ect.. ( I've been playing around with wiring for well as long as i can remember but always very basic stuff I'm new to this side of things)

i also had one other question, not sure if it makes much of a difference for this use but i would rather be safer then sorry.

running 4 fans off the one fan header on the aquero i will be making a 4 -1 cable now all of the fans are 3 pin , ground, +12v line and then fan speed sensor (only one fan will have the fan speed sensor hooked up to it) now to the question What profile of wire should i be using?

to me when its running X Amount more current and their kind of daisy chained? to one another i would require heavier duty wiring?


Thanks for your time and all your help

i would + point you if i had aquadrops. cheers Death for all your help
