Hi guys a few months back i ordered an aquero 5 and have recently set it all up, before i ordered it i did a bit of research about its capabilities and also made a forum thread here. I was told that i was able to run 4fans off one fan line but it would probably have to be water-cooled because of the extra heat on the 'fan power amplifier' so heres my issue.

I have 4 fans that I'm trying to run off of one fan channel and on start-up I keep getting this error "over-current" 3 fans works fine but it just wont start any of them when i have the 4th one connected(also all the fans run fine when i have them connected to a molex connector on a 12v rail, how would I go about addressing this issue?

This is how my fans are hooked up to the aquero- http://imgur.com/I6SPJ
(i have one of them disconnected though)


Also what's a good temperature range for the aquero fan amplifiers to sit at currently its around 32c in my room and my aquero on water is sitting on 40-45c under load. Channels 1 and 2 have 3 fans on each of them and are the highest at 45c~ the other 2 with just a single fan on them sit about 8degrees cooler. I'm not to happy with the temps considering my graphics card and cpu sit on ambient room temps(on water) under max loads so I may have another look at it and see if the water block needs to be re adjusted.

Big thanks in advance to everyone


cheers.

I should have supplied more information sorry guys, i originally ordered my aquero and waterblock around October last year and it took about 4months to get to me so i've forgotten a few things since then. This was my original post[url='http://forum.aquacomputer.de/weitere-foren/english-forum/100472-aquero-5-xt-questions-reguarding-fan-output/?highlight=']Aquero 5 XT Questions reguarding fan output[/url]

I was lead to believe that it all had to do with heat on the fan amps and if i could get that low enough i wouldn't have an issue running 4 fans on each channel.

I have 3 480 rads in my system (1x GPU's/Aquero, 2x CPU/NB/SB) each with 4 Scythe 3000rpm Ultra Kaze's.

The rated current for the Fans are .60A, so 4x puts me on 2.4A which is well above the ratings you gave me. I thought that the max rating per channel was heat controlled which is why i opted to water-cool the Aquero if this is still the case is there a way to increase the max rating per channel so that I'm able to run all of the fans?


Currently i have moved the radiator fans back to just running off a molex connector but this isn't ideal as they are so loud (one of the main reasons i want to run them off the aquero is so i can drop them to about 2k rpm and save my ears)

Thanks again guys and sorry for my late reply.
