Hello all,
I bought a computer a while ago and it came with an Aquaero 5.0 to monitor the water temps and adjust fan speed accordingly. It works brilliantly well and I am very happy with it. Recently started having a few odd crashes and freezes in windows and wanted to try re-installing windows from scratch. However I'm a total novice when it comes to setting up fan controllers.

Looking at my version of Aquasuite profile which was setup by builder it seems as though I can just export the profile (which I hope contains things like my fan curve and the names of all the fans...etc). Then I can re-import it into Aquasuite on the fresh version of windows once the .net framework and updates have been installed.

However the only version of Aquasuite 2012 I could find on here was Beta 15 which states that the profiles from beta's 14 and earlier are not compatible.
aquasuite 2012 BETA 15

Does anybody still have a copy of the Beta 14 I could use as really I just want it to work as it does now (which is fine from what I can tell) with the minimum of effort ideally. I'm assuming that if I have the Beta 14 then getting it working as it is currently would be as simple as importing the profile that I have just exported or is it more complicated than that?

Sorry for being a total noob with this stuff. Once I'm happy with how easy it is to install I can have a play about and figure some more of it out for myself. It does seem like a good bit of software but a bit much at first glance for somebody who hasn't built PC's themselves.

Really appreciate any help and advice.

Thanks

Hi guys,

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I was really hoping to avoid having to set it up from scratch if possible as like I said it is currently working fine - basically being completely un-obtrusive but ramping up the fan speed based on the temperature of the fluid in the loop. I don't need it to do any more than it currently does. However I take your point about getting to know it - that might be the way I have to do it if I can't get the software from anywhere else.

I looked at the quick installation guide for the Aquaero 5 which seems to be the only available manual for it and that wasn't exactly a great deal of help. Is there a noob friendly guide for setting up Aquasuite 2013 anywhere I could have a look at to see if it's something I would want to attempt?

I'd still be really interested in finding somebody that had the Beta 14 s/w. If I have an easy to re-install setup it's less of an issue to go to 2013 and try it knowing if I get hopelessly lost / confused I can go back to a 2012 beta 14 profile which will work.

Out of interest could I download and install the 2013 software but keep the 2012 with the working profile on my PC but not running so to speak? Then if I get 2013 working fine I can un-install the 2012 stuff and if I don't I can just go back to using the 2012 profile which works fine.

Thanks again for any help / advice.

It is much appreciated

Thanks Namron,

That guide looks really helpful. I'm going to give it a go and try to follow your guide.

I'm sure I'll be back shortly with a few questions though!!!
