So who thinks my Aquaero w/ home made super powerboster will work?

[Diverge]

I made all the modifications today, and powered it up. No smoke

The true test will be testing it with a load on it (the pump). I'll try that out later tonight.

Well, it powers my pump... but i cant do much cause apparently the software doesn't really want to work with windows 7 64 bit. Any way i try to load the software results in a crash... i guess that is just my luck...

Wow, that blows. I was planning on using an Aquaero with Win 7 64-bit in my new build, but sounds like that is a no-go.

I hope Shoggy will see this and comment. Maybe they are working on a new aquasuite that does support Win 7? Hopefully?

Latest version of the software? Its working like a charm here... Win7 64bit too.

I woke up this morning and realized I didn't have the latest version. I guess I shouldn't play with my computer late at night after coming home from a bar lol

Now I just have to figure out the best way to adjust the software to control my pump. It's probably best I wait till my hangover is gone lol

I just made some brackets for attaching the heatsink

Depending on where that's installed, I bet a 50mm or 60mm fan set on top (to blow across all the PCBs and heatsink) would really help cooling as well. What case are you putting it in and where?

I won't need any fans for it for a few reasons:

1) It only gets warm when running my pump at 8.3V. The lower the voltage, the more it heats up since the voltage drop across the transistor increases.

2) I'm not sure how low a voltage the pump is okay to run at, but I was playing around with it a little bit, and at lower voltages it become more noisey.. kinda whinny.

3) It's gonna be mounted in the top bay of my case, Lian Li PC-A06FB, which has 3 x 1850 GT's exhausting out the top:


(the top is just sitting on top of the case... I still have to wire up all the fans and temp sensors.)

On the bottom is a TFC 360 rad, with 3 x 1850 GT's pulling air through the rad, and into the case.
