hi all.
i need a solution for my 3 loop sr-2 build.

1. 2X355 on EK top
2. 2X355 on EK top
3. 355 on EK top
i need 3 unit of what you can recommanded for me.
i want it control on the pumps, fans. (PWM?)
monitor flow , fan RPM and temps sensor inputs.

there is some products, but the problem is the dual 355 pump one loop. what can handle this?

some produnt reqired other items such as flow meter.

for now - this is what i see:

1. T-Balancer - bigNG & and the other little unit for extension.
2. Aquaero 4.00 + flowmeter (i guess that 3 unit of the 5.00 will be too much expensive for me)
3. Innovatek IPC Controller
4.Koolance TMS-200 + Koolance TMS-EB200 Expansion Board


what will give me the best solution for my issue?
i do want the auto control of pumps and fans,and monitoring of the flow and temps.
and, the most importent:auto shutdown if some of the components is failure.

let me know what do you think. :rolleyes:

3 loops, then it's easy to mess with your case since too many tubing inside

The 'aquaro 5' with 2-3 'power adjust 2' units would do the trick. Spendy though, and may take 2 drive bays depending on your desire for a tidy setup.

You would have to order from europe, as I've only seen them stocked in the makers webshop so far.

3 loops in MM EX-Ascension case is fine. i've done it in TT Mozart tx case befor.

@jasoncrowley, can i use the poweradjust withiout the aquaro? what it's give me? if the poweradjust do the trick, i dont need the aquaro screen to monitor , i got 7" screen that can do it
each poweradjust can hold 2 355 pumps?

if this is the solution - i'll go for this: 3 poweradjust in one 5.25 bay.
what the diffrence between the standart and the ultra version?

deleted (edit.sorry, my mistake)

AFAIK only Alphacoll Heatmaster (among WC controllers) can handle multiple DDC type pumps, max 4, out-of-the-box.

To me it looks like Poweradjust 2 can be used as an independent controller or as a part of Aquaero system : http://forum.aquacomputer.de/weitere-foren/english-forum/97218-finally-available-poweradjust-2/

Of course you can use them without the aquaero.

thanks for the comment Shoggy, and other guys :)
@Shoggy - can i run 2 pump on single Poweradjust 2?
how the program handle 3 Poweradjust 2 in parallel mode?
can i connect the aqua flow meter directly?

do you ship worldwide?

Running two pumps on one controller will not work. Every controller gets its own tab in the aquasuite so you can easily switch between them. The names of the controllers can be changed so you can rename them to your needs.

You can connect a flow meter to directly to each controller. You only need the connection cable and the sensor of course.

We ship worldwide. The webshop does not support all countries so you can also contact us directly if it does not work for you.

Option 1 : Sell 2 pumps, buy mcp35x. Use Pwm control on your motherboard + speedfan.
Third Pump Can have rpm reporting to the motherboard via an adapter.
Cost 220- Pump Sale.

Option 2 : Big NG +2 mini ng (200 dollars or so)

Option 3: Aquaero 5 + 2 Power adjust 300

If you don't need software control, and merely want a visual indicator....
Lamptron FC5V2

I don't know the structure of your loop, but I probably wouldn't have each cpu in it's own loop, I would be more concerned about redundancy, and I would have both pumps in the same loop.
but to each their own.

Good luck.
