Any help on this would be appreciated. Below is my issue:
13 EK Vardar 120 (2000 RPM) PWM fans spread out across all 4 of the Aquareo 6XT's fan channels. The specs on the fans say they draw no more than 2.16 watts of power (
http://thermalbench.com/2015/06/29/ek-va…20er-120mm-fan/). For some reason when booting up my computer Aquareo will drop 1 or more of the fan channels with "Fan (x) Overcurrent" and all the fans on that channel/channels will stop. Below are some of my troubleshooting steps thus far:
- Ensured I was using 1 AquaComputer 4pin cable from each fan channel to the AquaComputer Splitty 9 hubs.
- I am using all AquaComputer cables for these connections to ensure compatibility along with Aquacomputer Splitty 9 hubs
- Tried using different fan hubs to ensure it wasn't the specific Splitty 9 hubs I was using with no luck.
- Ensured all fans had solid 4pin connectors and none of the pins were messed up in the connectors.
- Removed any extraneous devices which were hooked up but not being used, i.e. Power Adjust modules & Realtime clock
- Ensured the device chipset is not overheating: I am water cooling the main chip and also have the extra heatsink over the entire PCB
- Noticed when I drop 2 of the 13 fans from the configuration, then the other 11 fans seem to work properly.
- This could be any 2 fans, there isn't 2 specific fans causing this issue it could be any 2 fans chosen randomly
- Set minimum power to 99% and maximum power to 100% (to ensure I wasn't breaking a limitation I set on the controller)
- Also set this to multiple different lower settings with same result
- Firmware is all updated to latest
- Ensured there is no "Programmable Fuse" selection set for any of the fan channels
I am at a loss here on what to try next or if there is something obvious I am missing. All other functionality seems to be pretty normal and working as expected, but the entire point of getting this system was to be able to PWM my fans on a curve based on temperatures and now I cannot do that with all my equipment. Any help on this would be appreciated as I am pulling my hair out trying to track this issue down?
Thanks,
Seth
