Hi All

I am having one monster of a time figuring some of this new hardware / software out; my biggest query is regarding control of fan speed RPM effecting something listed as "Electronic" and a temperature in degrees C.

If i lower the fan RPM manually (preparing for a curve control setup) this electronic figure rises, once it hits 99 degrees the fans roar back up to 100% RPM until the temp drops, this repeats until i set the fans back to 100% where the temp drops to 42 ish degrees.

From what i can tell Fan 1 and 2 are common as the temp for this variable matches, and same with 3 & 4 but these figures have nothing to do with any of my 2 water loop input sensors that record 32 degree liquid.

I do also want some help getting sensor information from my motherboard input into the AQ LT 5 but need the first issue sorted before i can move onto this, i use AIDA64 and have downloaded the Aquasuite software to input the data, when i click on sensor 1-4 i just get a big white box and ok button.

One other question, why are 2 of my 4 fan controllers outputs having RPM fluctuations where as the other 2 are steady RPM...

As for the AIDA64 answer thank you so much, was a low priority but a big win to see my CPU and GPU temps in Aquasuite helping me to persevere with this. I started to figure out that lowering the RPM was increasing the temp of something on the controller so was pretty sure what you said was true.

I guess i convinced myself that paying $350 NZ Dollars for a fan controller would deliver me a product that would do what i needed without additional equipment being required to prevent the device from overheating and going into safe mode. I guess if i only had 4 fans connected the heat build up would be so minor it would function as i want but connecting a push - pull water cooling setup with in excess of 10 fans is a different story.

This isnt so bad as now i have the device partly working i am keen to get more functions running but do wish the supplier website aquatuning.com mentioned "Are you planning to run more than 6 fans off this device, if so add a water cooling block or upgraded heatsink" rather than me learning this lesson then having to faff around buying additional extras at another freight cost.

Thank you for confirming my thoughts with your answers as i Google for hours trying to self answer.

I think a configurator would be a fantastic suggestion, if i knew in advance i needed the water block for my application i would have hands down got it, in fact i didn't know until now such a block existed if i did know i would have likely got it just because i had water loops that i would happily tap it into.. I guess my biggest frustration is that a water block the size of what.. block of chocolate is going to cost me $50 in freight or more frustrating is that i have to wait another week or two to receive it as i am on the other side of the world when i just want to have some more time to play around with this device.

I do have the bigger passive heat-sink on the unit now and to be honest when running and it says its hot i can hold my hand pretty close and not feel anything..

I am really surprised they don't ship with black front covers standard and sell the chrome as accessories considering how many cases are sold black and not silver, Corasir, Caselabs, Antec etc etc.. Oh wait i know why, money.. if they sell the black as an accessory they will sell more product =)

My accessory list is likely to stay as just 2 more flow sensors, im very limited on my motivation to add more as you rightly point out due to the cost (more the cost to get it here as the price on the parts is pritty good / fair).

I use AIDA64 version 2.0 .1700 currently and have no issue with shared memory outputting to aqua suite software sensor tool, my issue now is getting Aquasuite 2012 beta 10 to accept the data from the software sensor tool so it is usable; Did you enable shared memory then scroll 3/4 down the list and tickbox CPU, GPU, HDD etc as your nominated outputs?

I have already ordered the water block, now i just have to sit tight and wait...

Outstanding questions :

If anyone knows how to get aqua suite 2012 beta 10 to recognise the software sensor tool inputs i am keen to hear from them.

If anyone knows how to get the software sensor tool to auto load with Win 7 and remember the AIDA64 nominated sensors i wish to monitor that would also be good, currently it loads at start-up for the 4 sensors are blank and i have to manually reselect them..

I have managed to get the software sensor tool to start-up and recall its memory (didn't change anything so that's odd) but for the life of me i cannot see the data in aqua suite 2012 beta 10 under any of the sensor options - very bizzare and most likely caused by things being a beta rather than a final release.

I will keep trying as perseverance has paid off so far, Do i need to make the "name" field match the name of the aqua sensor tool to make it detectable?

I likely wont ever get around to the flow sensors for quite some time for now my goals are simple: install water block, control fans & enjoy.

I am also having a hell of a time trying to figure out why 2 of the 4 fan controller channels have a fixed RPM output and the other two channels RPM fluctuates; it reads 100% and 11.7 and 11.8v respectively but my GPU Pull fans and CPU push fans go from 800-1200RPM
