Aquacomputer Aquaaero 6

[Warchild]

So with my current desk build underway again I have one question regarding this sexy piece of kit to anyone who currently owns this unit

Aqua Aero 6 XT

I have been testing my 2x MCP35x on the cpu headers on my z97 sabertooth mark s board and I have noticed that not only does the AIsuite not abide by my configuration of a fixed pwm of 40% regardless of temperature, but neither does the motherboard. It sometimes spikes for no reason and goes upwards of 80% so both pumps get loud.

My old Z77 sabertooth would allow me to maintain 40% power at all times to both pumps. (1 in CPU header and the other in the CPU opt fan).

Anyway...

I have a ridiculous amount of fans planned for the rads and also airflow so this is a good controller having 36W per channel. However I also want it to control both pumps and I can't seem to find a definitive answer if I can do so with MCP35X pwm pumps. There are so many links with over 200pages of comments its a nightmare trying to find the info I want.

Does anyone know if this is possible? I understand there is a difference in PWM controllers which is why I'd like to get feedback from personal experience before I drop money on this. I know there has been confirmation that people have successfully controlled some pumps, but they never give info on which pumps they are.

Yes some pumps have been controlled.

This is the mos exhaustive thread on this controller on the net. It's a lot of reading, but you can find any information you want want on this device. It is one of my favorite things I have ever purchased for any PC I have built or own. They are that good, and the software is second to non.

Pumps can be tricky, but read that thread, and it will tell you what you want to know.

ah if its in there then I guess ill have to continue. I got to page 80 before giving up. time for a coffee and alot of patience.

But yes from the specs and reviews on the controller im pretty excited about purchasing one. I have a lamptron CW611 and although they state its possible, I cannot use the pwms on it so I'll be selling that one.

I think a lot of the info you are looking for comes in the 200 and over pages lol.

Looks like ill be investing in a lot of caffeine too.

Blah ha ha ha ha.

Glad you got what you needed. Don't forget order the black face plate if you need it to match your case.

It's still the best fan controller money can buy right now. There is just so much you can do with the software.
