have a few questions..

1) I recall having to use (legacy) aquasuite software 4.72.00 back then to change the channels on my PA2 (all 6 of them) via USB, then disconnect the USB and connect it via Aquabus to the Aquaero for it to be recognized properly.



(2)I am moving from Aquaero 5 XT to Aquaero 6 Pro, will my old exported configs work with the new Aquaero 6? mainly the overview pages, I dont remember how I set those up to the way I like it right now, not really a big issue but would be nice and probably save me a lot of time.
(a) I probably should not import my old aquaero 5 xt settings into my new aquaero 6 pro right? I have all the channel names the way I like it and I dont recall which channel is which PA..

(3) I have these items attached to my existing Aquaero 5 XT, will I be able to use them for new setup?
Aquacomputer Temperature Sensors (4)
Aquacomputer Flow sensor (2), it's the old one with the rotating wheel inside, not the new MPS one..
Aquacomputer D5 (dont remember the model but it's the USB MPS one)

(4) will my old PA2 bracket and faceplate fit the PA3?

(5) will my remote for Aquaero 5 XT work on my new Aquaero 6 Pro? do I need to do anything or it'll automatically sense it via the IR ?

whew... I think that's all, hope I'm not missing anything, Thanks.

4.) Yes, they are compatible but only if you do not use the passive heatsink for the poweradjust 3.

Hi Sven, Thanks for the info.. Just couple more questions.

Is there a faceplate/bracket in the works for use with the PA3 and the heatsinks? I already bought the heat sinks and installed them then realizing the screws don't work, only then came to the site product page showing that it was incompatible.. I had the PA2 faceplate for like 3 years already so that's just a error on my part..

I also remember somewhere mentioning that there will also be a waterblock for the AQ6 series heatsink, that's still in the works yes?

Thanks

edit, it's pretty warm with out the heatsink, I had a PA2 die and replacing the entire Aquaero unit plus all the PA, mainly for the sake of better efficiency, currently showing on my PA2 32.7c @ 100%, while my PA3 is 41.8c @ 100%..

Looks like everything worked out, I used some M3 spacers that I had laying around, its around 1mm thick, since the PA3 board is now pushed back a bit from the front plate, the light is not inside the hole, which worked out for the better as that blue LED light is OMG BRIGHT.... and I'm not exaggerating



I have used the spacers here, for those who has PA2 and wants to up to PA3..







Out with the OLD...




In with the new...




and a little something absolutely not thread related but hey, Its sexy and I want to show it off...






On a leaving note, the PA3 is much more efficient than the PA2, same load but my rig manages to pull about 50-75W less on idle..

Now I only have to wait for the water block before replacing my XT, since I dont want to break apart my loop as I still have the old water block installed... Help me out here Sven

oh snap.. I didnt know the waterblock fit on the heatsink, I assumed that the product page said incompatible with AQ6, that it wasnt compatible at all, never thought it'd be compatible after installing the heatsink..

Such a Noob I am... Thanks Guys
