I'll start with the Aquabus, you only need it if you use something other than Windows.
Basically you control all devices via the Aquasuite and it gets its data via USB.
If you use e.g. Linux this possibility is missing and all devices run autonomously, so you can only control them with sensors connected to the device itself or via the Aquabus.
Since the Aquabus is very narrow-banded, it can not transfer large amounts of data, it only works with sensor values and fans, a Farbwerk360 can not be addressed.

Then to the LEDs, the high flow NEXT does not need to be connected to the Farbwerk360, it can control 90 LEDs itself, the lighting of the motherboard itself cannot be controlled by the Farbwerk 360, if it is only a water block it should work.

About the fans, they should all be able to run via the Aquaero, the question is whether they need their own channel, several radiators can also be connected to one channel, then the Splitty 9 would also be helpful.

1: right, you always need USB, Aquabus is optional for certain use cases.

2: the high flow NEXT itself has a RGBpx controller for 90 LEDs, so it cannot be controlled by the Farbwerk 360.

3: that's what I wrote, should work then.

4: if you can't merge fans, can't/won't switch to PWM fans you can run F5 on the motherboard only, or you can buy a second Aquaero, which makes little sense!

To connect the Calitemp to the aquaero you don't need a Splitty 9, if you want to connect more than one Calitemp you need an aquabus X4 for aquaero 5/6 .

Again to the aquabus, normally you control the fans by water temperature, if you have the appropriate sensor(s) connected directly to the aquaero, like in your case the calitemp, you don't need an aquabus even without Windows.
If you get the data for control from another device, such as the high flow NEXT, the sensor values would be missing during system startup or under Linux and the Aquaero uses the fallback values configured by you.

So as long as you have all the sensors you need to control your fans connected directly to the Aquaero, the Aquabus has no advantage, because the Aquaero, just like the other devices from Aquacomputer, once configured, run completely autonomously.

The Aquasuite is used as configuration software and to make sensors available to other devices via USB as software sensors, among the many other possibilities :-)

• Calitemp, Maybe you are saying here that I can use the Aquabus on the high flow NEXT for Calitemp?

• I have other temp sensors other than high flow NEXT and Calitemp, the 3rd water temp sensor is inside the reservoir which will be connected to the Aquaero 6 XT along with 4 other temp sensors for Air / Devices like Ram.

• You didn't tell me what do you think of the picture I posted last, Does this setup look good?

for DC fans there's still the option to use a poweradjust :

.. or upgrade to PWM fans

Calitemp, Maybe you are saying here that I can use the Aquabus on the high flow NEXT for Calitemp?

The
reason why I have Splitty9 as an Aquabus extension/adapter is because I
have low clearance for the Aquabux X4 adapter on the back of the
Aquaero 6 XT
There is no space for the X4 to fit, so I am using a
long cable from Aquaero 6 HIGH Aquabus to the Splitty9 and using the
latter for Aquabus connections.
I can also add more Calitemp sensors in the future.

I am certainly not saying that as only the Aquaero is an Aquabus Master, all other Aquabus capable devices can be connected to an Aquaero but not to any other device.

If you want to connect multiple calitemps to one aquaero you need the X4.

Your connections on the picture work like this.

Zitat von »Taubenhaucher«

You should perhaps take a look at the product description of the Aquabus X4, then you wouldn't write such nonsense.
Alternatively, look at the product page of the Calitemp, it says the following: "Digital temperature sensor with outstanding accuracy over a wide temperature range. The sensor is equipped with one G1/4 inner thread and one G1/4 outer thread with o-ring seal and can be installed directly between water block/radiator and hose fitting.
An aquaero 5 or aquaero 6 device with firmware version 2100 or newer is required to use this sensor, the sensor has to be connected to the aquabus connector of the aquaero. The aquaero supports a single Calitemp sensor without further hardware, alternatively a maximum of four Calitemp sensors can be connected to a single aquaero using an "aquabus X4" (product code 53258, not included in delivery)."

Zitat von »Remayz«

The one right after the blocks reflects best the load on the water loop. Usually that's the best to use for fan speed control, even if in practice, any of the sensors would work just fine.

Zitat von »Taubenhaucher«

Unfortunately you have not read the description of the Calitemps yet, otherwise you would not have answered like this
Multiple calitemps do not work with normal splitters, no matter if splitty 9 or splitter cables.
For this it needs the X4, if you don't believe me just try it out

1. The upper limit of each fan channel of aquaero XT 5/6 is 54W, you must confirm that the load cannot exceed 54W or the system will activate overload protection. You have 18 fans, you can use one channel for six fans on average, and use three channels in total, provided that the total load cannot exceed 54W! Because I have an AMS system, I bought XT and LT to spread the load.
2. The calitemp needs to be connected to the aquabus, you can use the X4 expander to connect four calitemps. I tried aquabus not able to expand through splitty 9, maybe you can give it a try.
3. Farbwerk 360 has four channels, which can be connected to four +5v channels and four light strip channels, and the lighting effects will be synchronized. Each light strip channel can connect six light strips or 90 LEDs, a total of 24 light strips or 360 LEDs, and control the lighting effect through aquasuite. The +5v socket can control the lighting effect of the reservoir or the GPU water block, as long as the surrounding area of the plug that supports +5v can be controlled.
4. highflow NEXT, this is the best flow meter in the water cooling industry. With DP water cooling liquid, it can calculate the conductivity and control the water change schedule. It has many extended functions such as lighting effect control.
5. The above devices must be connected to the HUBBY 7 via the USB port for communication with the system, connection with Aquasuite and future firmware upgrades.

Basically, there is no problem with your connection, the biggest problem is the overload of the fan, since you have purchased the OCTO fan controller, why not replace all the fans with PWM-controlled models?

Mounted on an aquaero 6 controller, this passive heat sink improves heat dissipation and thereby increases the maximum power output of the fan channels.
