NEW: aquaero 5 series

[mbreslin]

Thank you. It seems like D5-usb is the way to go since I avoid the extra heat to the aquaero?

I'm a little burned out on dealing with the monster that is my ascension+dual loops. My Dell U3014 comes tomorrow and I'm going to disable sli and see how a single Titan does at 2560x1600. If I'm happy with the performance I'm going to completely downsize and do a Node 304 build. If not I'm going to order Aquaeros and start working on making fan cables etc.

The pump is powered directly by your PSU with a molex connector. The USB part is for configuration and monitoring through Aquasuite. You can also monitor the pump by connecting it only by Aquabus to an AE5. You still may need the USB for configuration however (don't have experience with that particular pump).

In my opinion it's a bad idea to power a relative high wattage pump by an AE5. Better use your PSU or a Poweradjust 2 if the pump doesn't support PWM or Aquabus features.

So what causes all the heat that people need to wc their ae5? Is that just for people actually powering their pumps with the ae5? Powering the pump normally and just sticking the pwm cable into the ae5 doesn't require the waterblock on the ae5 I take it?

Thanks.

From what I understand, throttling of devices causes the most heat in the AE5. It gets pretty hot when you load it to its electrical limit (1.65A per channel and 5A total) and or slow everything down as well.

Just using the PWM part doesn't load it significantly. It's just a signal.

For cooling I have installed the large finned heat sink on my AE5 LT. I think it comes standard on the XT and PRO. In my system it keeps the VRMs between 45-50c. The limit before protection kicks in is 85-90c I think. Not sure about the temp though, better ask Shoggy from Aqua Computer to confirm it.

Here's my new G19 Screens for Aquasuite 2013.

I have added Aquasuite alarms to the G19 screen and critical dials & indicators on a dedicated Aquasuite screen.

I got my status screen finished!

Looks good!

Here's my datamap files and G19 layout for those that want to see how its put together..

I added temp bars to CPU cores, GPUs and water and edited some icons and imagemap files. I now get orange indicators for when pumps, fans or flowrate are at maximum, and triangle warning when low or exclamation alert when below minimum. Temp alerts are the opposite going from low to exclamation alert.

I run my datamap files and XML from the C: root directory.
The eos-19 Layout from the layout folder using my eos-aquasuite layout.

PS. you need to create the sensor xml export files in Aquasuite using the same file names as my datamap file names without the .datamap;
For example gpu-rad1-fan5-speed.datamap.txt you put gpu-rad1-fan5-speed as the filename in Aquasuite XML export for the fan sensor. The other XML export files you need to name the same way.
To use my layout you'll also need Aida64 and MSI afterburner, otherwise you'll need to remap those sensors to whatever tools your using.

At load after a few minutes.

Hey Shoggy,

Do you have any plans to make a waterblock for the poweradjust? It would be sweet to have a single waterblock to cool 3 poweradjust 2's. I mean, that only makes sense right?

[Shoggy]

There will be no waterblock for the poweradjust.

I cant find any info about this little RE icon on the right:



What is that ?

Can someone link me where I can purchase the LCD film color change for Aquaero 5 XT (Green, Red, Orange etc) I found them out of the US about 6 months ago but at the moment can't find them.

And it seems the water block has been out of stock now for months? Any ETA on new ones incoming to the US?

Also just wondering if I could use 3 x Swiftech Helix 140mm fans on ONE fan channel? The fans are rated at current 0.45 A (each) with these ModRight cables picture below.. I am planning on building my own LIAN LI TECH STATION with 2 x Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 Full Copper 420mm using those fans. Thanks

The coloured lenses you have seen are for the previous model Aquaero ... the Aquaero 4, and are not compatible with the AQ5

As far as using the swiftech fans ... Each channel of the Aquaero will supply up to 1.65A so at 1.35A they should be fine. As you probably know, the problems might come with running the fans at low volts. Any load that close to the full capacity of a channel gets very hot when the volts are forced down. I have had temps getting over 60C running 4 Noiseblocker eloop 0.25A fans at low speed. That was using only the smallest heatsink though.
That won't be a problem if you do get the water block for the AQ5 of course.

Coll thanks just what I wanted to here... And I found the waterblock at Aquatuning so I pulled the trigger on it, but $19.00 bucks on shipping oh well at least it will be kept cool now..
