Hello everyone, please forgive the fact that I do not speak or write German...


I am in the process of assembling a new (large) gaming PC, and I would like to try and unusual and slightly complex configuration of Aquacomputer components. I have tried to draw out what I would like to do in the attached PDF document. Basically... I have a computer with the following components:-
1 x Asus RoG Rampage VI Extreme Omega Motherboard
1 x Intel Core i9 7920 (12 Core / 24 Thread) pre-Binned and guaranteed to 4.7GHz
Heatkiller IV Pro Pure Copper CPU Water Block

64Gb Team Group Xtreem "8Pack Edition" 4x16Gb RAM DDR4 PC4-28800C17 3600MHz RAM
2 x nVidia GeFORCE RTX 2080 Ti Water-Cooled GPUs
2 x 2Tb Samsung 970 Pro M.2 Drive SSDs

1 x Creative SoundBlaster ZxR PCIe High Performance Sound CardThe water cooling set up is:-
1. CPU Loop
-> 1 x AquaComputer DD5 Pump / 450ml Aqualis Base (Nano Coating) / Pump Base
-> Heatkiller CPU Water Block
-> EKWB CE560 Coolstream Radiator, fitted with 4xNoctua NF-P14 PWM fans
-> Aqualis 450ml reservoir...

2. GPU1 Loop
-> 1 x AquaComputer DD5 Pump / 450ml Aqualis Base (Nano Coating) / Pump Base
-> RTX 2080Ti waterblock
-> EKWB CE560 Coolstream Radiator, fitted with 4xNoctua NF-P14 PWM fans [Radiator 1]
-> EKWB CE560 Coolstream Radiator, fitted with 4xNoctua NF-P14 PWM fans [Radiator 2]
-> Aqualis 450ml reservoir...

3. GPU2 Loop

-> 1 x AquaComputer DD5 Pump / 450ml Aqualis Base (Nano Coating) / Pump Base
-> RTX 2080Ti waterblock
-> EKWB CE560 Coolstream Radiator, fitted with 4xNoctua NF-P14 PWM fans [Radiator 1]
-> EKWB CE560 Coolstream Radiator, fitted with 4xNoctua NF-P14 PWM fans [Radiator 2]-> Aqualis 450ml reservoir...


As my attached diagram shows,
Connection and Configuration of Aquacomputer Components, Version 2.pdf
I plan to put temperature sensors on the output port of each radiator.This is because, when the system is not running in SLI model, the 8 fans supporting GPU2 will not need to run fast, because that GPU will be idle...
Also, because for light load, even when running in SLI, the "second" radiator in each cooling circuit may not need to have fans running at full speed...

My questions are:-
1. With regard to the proposed connection of Aquabus units - i.e. running from Aquero to Splitty9 and then out to 3 x Quadro ... will this work?

2. If I set up the cables in this way, will I be able to control all 20 radiator fans? [I do not need to control them individually, I will have them as "fan groups" with 1 "group" per radiator...

3. Is this:-
https://shop.aquacomputer.de/product_inf…roducts_id=3487
the right cable to use for the purple cable lengths in my diagram (e.g. Aquero to Splitty; Splitty to Quadro)?
4. Which cable should I use for Quadro to Pump? (I think it is the same cable as for Question 3 - just want to make sure)...

5. If I need to extend any of the cable lengths (this is a very large case) is it safer to use a pre-made extension cable, like this:-
https://shop.aquacomputer.de/product_inf…roducts_id=3183
or is it safer to actually take an existing cable, cut it, then solder an extra piece of 4-core cable in to take it to the correct length? (I like the idea of a cut and solder extension, only because there are no extra plugs/connectors to come undone by accident...

Thank you in advance for any help and suggestions you can offer.

Any recommendations would be gratefully received.

Happy to provide further information and answer any questions you may have...

Thanks for the responses everyone...

I think I'm going to be able to achieve most of the plan by:-
1. Connecting just 2 of the pumps to the Aquero - the CPU loop pump I will connect directly to power and then use the on-pump speed controller to adjust the CPU circuit temperatures under load...

2. Connecting a Quadro to the Aquero via Aquabus... This will give me up to 4 x fan channels on the Aquero and up to 4 x fan channels on the Quadro...

Very much appreciate your thoughts and suggestions. Thank you.
