Hello all,
For a new build i was first planning to use a Aquaero 6 LT to control my fans and pump. However i have a total of 6 fans, so i would need something like an quadro/octo to increase the fan channels.
Also i saw the flow sensor next which i think of using to also get flow+temp (water temp to regulate fan speed).
The Aquaero has a lot of ports that i don't need.
I basicly need 1 pump, 6 fans(no rgb), flow, water temp
Can i use the Octo and the Flow sensor next both on usb to control fanspeed based on water temperature? or does this require the controler to have an aquabus connection to the flow sensor next? (i know Octo is only a slave). Becaus in that case i would need an Aquaero.
And if both ways work, with usb only or with aquabus. are there limitations when only using usb?
Thanks!
ps. i have not used aquacomputer/aquasuite products before.
If your pumps and fans are PWM controlled, and you will be using the aquasuite, I would forgo the aquaero and use an OCTO and a high flow NEXT.
If the OCTO and flow NEXT are both connected to the mobo with USB, and you use the aquasuite, you need no further cables between the two.
If you are not able to use the aquasuite, you need
THIS cable to connect the OCTO and flow NEXT.
If your pumps or fans are power controlled, you will need the aquaero 6 LT, and perhaps a
poweradjust or a
splitty9.
If not using the aquasuite, you will need an
aquabus cable for the flow NEXT to communicate with the aquaero.
