Is this a possible connection of the Quadro and D5 Next pump?

Quadro (Connected to the MB with USB) -> D5 Next (Connected to the Quadro with Aquabus)

(Quadro Fan Channel 1: 4x fans)(Quadro Fan Channel 2: 4x fans)(Quadro Fan Channel 3: 2x fans)(Quadro Fan Channel 4: 2x fans)


Additional Flow Sensor added to either D5 Next or Quadro. 42 addressable RGB LEDs on RGBpx plug (Heatkiller XS/S/M strips). Will use the Temp Sensor that is internal on D5 Next.


My motherboard only has 1x USB header so I was hoping the Quadro and D5 Next could be connected through Aquabus.


Thank you!

No, only a USB connaction is possible. You can use the aquabus only with a aquaero 5/6.

Thank you for the response If both the Quadro and D5 Next are connected to a internal USB 2.0 plug they will still both communicate to AquaSuite, correct? And all 4 channels of the Quadro can be controlled independently?

Have you considered the HUBBY7? It should solve your single USB port problem.

After posting and continuing to evaluate options I did find the option of a 2.0 splitter. There are little 1 into 2 plugs but I think a Hubby7 or the NZXT module would be best as they have PSU power. The NZXT has an extra two USB-A too which would be nice to plug my keyboard and mouse into and save I/O ports for other stuff.

With that option it would still be a very clean minimal setup: (Quadro controlling fans/RGB)(D5 Next pump with Temp/Flow display) I really like the Next since it has the digital readout for Temp/Flow and I don't have to figure out any other displays connected to sensors. I also don't think I'll fully utilize the Aquaero since I really only need the fans controlled and the pump. This may be the perfect setup.
