I had the same experience with Farbwerk and the Aquacomputer wire. The solution I did was to take out the 4 metal fins and solder the RGB on the wire itself. Those clips does not hold well.

Hi everybody,
I'm a happy AC Customer, since long time I wished to own an Aquacomputer product.
Recently I bought the Aquaero, Poweradjust and the Farbwerk. All of them are very nice product.

Anyway, my problem is: I can save the setting into the desired profile, and I'd like to load the profile #2 on startup, but everytime I turn off the PC the Aquaero/Aquasuite (I don't know where's the issue) the profile #1 is always loaded.
Is it a software limitation or did I something wrong?

How to load a specific profile at startup?

Open aquasuite and look at the aquaero tab.
You should see a couple icons, one being a floppy disk icon.
Click on the floppy disk icon to save the current profile to the aquaero.
The aquaero should now start with that profile on system start.

I've connected the Farbwerk to PC via USB and via Aquabus too to the PowerAdjust, which is connected mainly via Aquabus on the Aquaero 5 LT. Is this config wrong, using both the type of comms at the same time?

From the manuals:

• Farbwerk Manual

  5.5. aquabus 1/2
  Connector for communication with other Aqua Computer devices. Use a compatible
  aquabus cable (not included in delivery, article no. 53122/53162) to connect
  the farbwerk controller board to a suitable connector of a compatible device, for
  example an aquaero. USB and aquabus interface can be used at the same time.

  the aquabus/speed signal cable included in delivery to connect the poweradjust 3

  is processed with higher priority.

  
  

I could be wrong but I believe that profile 1 will be loaded at first by default, don't matter what you set in preferences.
I have Aqaero 6XT and 6x PA3 for numerous of AC devises in my workstation and I was once playing with similar config. but at the end I end up setting my profile 1 as default and for any other profiles preferences I set them up to load as secondary.

So, for example I have 2 loops, one for 3x Titan Blacks and second loop for CPU, MB, VRM's. My system is fairly big that contains 4x 480 Nemesis radiators, 2 High speed USB flow sensors and and # of other things in which all sits in STH10+ pedestal case.
My system is very quiet I love quiet, yet performance is very important and despite the fact that I have 4x D5 PWM pumps controlled by 4x PA3, and 23 fans that can increase DB significantly if you let them all run at once, creating preferable profiles that will automatically load at any giving time can make possible for you to configure all your devices to run, go ON/OFF exactly the way you want them to.

My 1st profile is to load main GPU and CPU pump at start up run them at very low speed for silence and they are silent I could get away with 1 pump for each loop easy but I care about redundancy and so I have additional pumps and that's where the second and third profile comes in to place.
If either of the main pumps fail and it happen to me in the past, aquasuite will load additional pump(s) through profile 2 or 3 to continue on pumping the loop with broken pump so no shut down of PC due to either CPU or GPUs thermal, it works magic.

Also, not all of the fans are on, most of the time only half are working because I have so much radiator space temperatures are very low and only until temperature gets to hot and that is only during very heavy tasks then additional profiles with my desired setting are being loaded to run additional fans and they are set to run individually by 4x 5 sets it depends on which loop needs it.
It took me a fairly long to set all profiles to work together but It was totally worth it, everything is fully automated.

Anyhow, In your case I would switch whatever you want to be loaded at start-up into profile 1, just shift your preferences in profiles and go from there, you can pretty much automate any AC product using profiles I think regardless how you save your settings you might have profile 1 loading on start anyways.


Again I could be wrong, maybe someone will come up with explanation and help, but I think instead of playing around, this quick switch could save you time and aggravation and at the end it will work as you intended to begging with.

I couldn't get the forum to quote Dundys, but he said:

How are you controlling the D5 PWM pumps with PA3s, since the PA3 does Power Output not do PWM control?


RodeoGeorge

I believe he's controlling them via voltage controlled instead of PWM. No other way other than being controlled on a AQ6 PWM set channel.

As for the profiles, why not load profile 2 and save it on profile 1, so when it's loading 1, you're loading the one you want.

Yes I control pumps speed vie- voltage.


There is no beneficial reason for pumps to have their speed fluctuating via PWM signal like through m/b or any controller, some might disagree and that's OK. I have tested and other than hearing pump spinning up and down and creating additional noise and heat it has very little to no effect on temperatures and systems performance also, you can prolong pumps longevity by supplying it steady voltage and running them at steady speeds.

What I have done is created 3 separate profiles for pumps actions and that includes ON/OFF and steady higher or lower speed, depending on workload

My main profiles are:

1) Bleeding.. which all 4 pumps run at their full speed 4400-4500RMP
2) Performance.. in which 1 pump of each loop runs at about 40% of its speed, yet they run quietly as I have search for voltage that would give them the most silent operation.
3) Silent profile, the lowest speed possible (1900-2100RMP) for single pump of each loop at the same time keeping resalable flow rate (0.3-0.4 GPM) all that is loaded with profiles automatically when necessary.

I don't know how other brands of blocks handling low flow rates, but I have been using Heatkiller because they are excellent at keeping good temperatures at very low flow rates.

Just like GTXJackBauer suggested, why not saving your profile 2 that obviously you want it to be loaded on start up and save it onto profile 1 and your problem its solved
