This is such an odd problem, but reproducible, none the less.
It seems the Aquaero 5 LT is causing massive amounts of memtest errors in a VMware host machine / home server. I realize this is not liquid cooled, but the part in question is from that realm. Its being used to regulate hard drive temps vs. fan speeds much like it does with watercooling and water temp.
I use the Aquaero in a few other systems to regulate water temp with fan speeds and have yet to test, but so far on this server, massive memory errors if this is hooked to the internal USB header while running Memtest86.org's 5.01, single or multi threaded. No issue if the Aquaero is connected to power only.
Specs:
Asus P9D-E/4L
Intel E3-1245v3
Kingston 32GB ECC DDR3 1600
LSI 9300-8i
LSI 9300-8i
Samsung 840 Pro 256GB

Misc WD and Samsung drives on LSI controllers
ESXi 5.5u2
VMs (Win8.1, Win10prev, Ubuntu 14.04.1, CentOS 5, 6)
Has anyone had any kind of memory issues with one of these hooked up??
