Aquero 4 / Aquastream Pump Upgrade

Sonntag, 14. Dezember 2014, 19:58

My Aquacomputer cooling system has been working happily in
my system since 2006 and has seen two core system upgrades without changing
anything. Until now….?

I’ve just upgraded to a new core based on an ASUS Maximus
VII motherboard. The Win 8.1 device manager reports that the Aquaero 4 USB
interface has been stopped and Aquasuite (any version) can’t find the
controller. Is there any solution to this?

This is my current system:

Aquaero 4 (OS 4.22, Firmware 2.03)
Aquastream pump (not an XT) – With a daughter board controller
on the Aquaero 4
Aquatube Reservoir
Plug & Cool Temp Sensor (in the Aquatube)
Thermaltake 360 x 120 radiator
4 x 3 pin fans (3 on the rad and 1 at top of case)

As it looks like I'm probably going to need an upgrade, I’m planning on buying
an Aquaero 5 LT but I’m wondering if I'd need to upgrade/replace the Aquastream
pump as well?

The current pump only has a single cable coming out of it with
a 2-pin connector that plugs into the controller card. Can I simply plug this cable
into the Aquaero 5 LT or would I need to buy one of the Aquastream XT upgrade
kits?

Would the Aquastream XT upgrade kit allow me to monitor/control
the speed of the pump? If so, do I need to buy any other cables?

If anyone has any other wisdom or advice to offer, I’d be
really grateful

I am not competent to answer your primary questions, but if you have had the same pump in the loop for 8 or 9 years, I would consider replacing it while the system is apart, simply due to age.

I had a fish tank in the 90's with an external Eheim pump/filter. When I had to get rid of the tank, I sold the Eheim to a mate who is still using it today. It has been in continuous use for around 18 years. I'd argue that my part time computer pump has got plenty of life left in it
