I got my unit from sidewinder a month back. It was in charge of running 1 rgb light stripe with the 12v relay, 3x gentle typhoon each in fan output 1 and 3. Everything works flawlessly until yesterday.

When I switch on the computer, I realize that the aquaero 5 LCD is flickering (screen works normally when computer is off), both fan outputs not showing any rpm, aqua suite is not able to detect the aquaero 5 and thus I reboot my computer, hoping that it might solve the issue.

That was when the worst happened, all 6 of my fans are not running at all, I took a look at the LCD screens and found out that the aquaero 5 is providing more then 1a to each of the fan output, after 5 sec or so, smoke came out of the aquaero 5 and my unit is officially dead.

Does anyone have such issue? It is really killing my confidence for it as I think that my aquaero 5 is actually running very light workload compared to most of the people out there and such thing still happened to me,

Yes, still waiting for Sven to reply to my email. I got a feeling it's due to communication with the computer that caused this.

Reason being,
1. LCD working fine when the computer is switched off, everything is looking fine.
2. Lack of rpm in both fan channel when it's running.
3. Running over 1a to my fan output when my fans isn't powered on at all.
