    That doesn't surprise me; I've seen USB stuff screw up computers before. I had a palm that when plugged in would instantly reset the computer, but only when my MP3 player was also plugged in!

    Any idea how many watts/amps an aquaxtreme xt or innovatek hpps would run at? I'm trying to find out if it will work with my multswitch and I've posted on almost every german forum, but no answer

    The XT Ultra @ 84.6Hz uses @ 7.1W. According to aquasuite and current consumption is ~570 mA and 12.21V. HTH.

    That is great news. I'll be running 3 at 72hz. The controller is good for 40 watts total on 8 channels, with the ability to run at most 1amp on each channel.
    That means I'm good for the pumps, extra cathodes, 2 fans, and 8 leds.
    Thanks for posting that.

    I dont know much about electronics and stuff, so i will ask before i do anything stupid.
    The cpecifications of bigNG state:
    max. current: 7A
    max. power: 80W (PWM)/20W (analogue)
    power per channel: 40W (PWM)/20W (analogue)
    What is the difference in analogue and PWM mode...? I have tried it, and in PWM mode my fans started to sing...
    I am wondering this, because i would like to plug 8x Scythe Slipstreams 1600RPM (4.92W) to my bigNG with Y splitters. As far as i understand all this specs, the max power states 20W in analogue mode, and that would mean that i cant run all of 8 Slipstreams because they would exceed the power limit... Am i wrong? Am i missing something? Sorry for being such a noob about it, but i realy dont want to fry my bigNG Thanks in advance...

    The bigNg can provide way more than 20W in analogue mode, just make sure it gets decent airflow...

    And you can't really "kill" the bigNG, if it gets to warm, it switches all fans to 12V and/or PWM
