NEW: aquaero 5 series

[Church]

Using each channel for one fan only is excessive too. If you wish uncommon setup, be prepared to pay more, imho simple as that.
Others should have no problem in using each channel for powering/regulating several fans on each without paying extra.

[Shoggy]

So far noting is done in this area because our programmer is focusing on the aquasuite 2012 at the moment and the reported bugs and problems for firmware updates. I guess there will nothing happen before the aquasuite is finished.

[Odai]

Thanks for responding Shoggy.

Is there definitely no other alternative then? From what I can tell hooking up 4 power adjusts would do the same job, but would be even more expensive.

[Shoggy]

There is no other way to add more fan channels.

[masska]

I kinda interested now...

Is there a good place U.S. stateside to order this? or just direct from vendor?

Sidewinder should have them soon.

@Shoggy:

Have I read somewhere that the PowerAdjust 2 needs to be flashed to firmware 1003 in order to use it with the AE5? Or I've dreamt it?

[Shoggy]

There is a new firmware available for the poweradjust 2 controllers. It is highly recommend to flash them when you want to use them with the aquaero. Flashing can be done with the current aquasuite.

Thanks for the reply Shoggy

Where do I find the firmware?

I have Aquasuite 4.69.00 installed, both the AE4 (haven't rigged the AE5 yet) and the PA2 connected via USB, but when I check for update via Aquasuite it says that the latest firmware available for the PA2 is "0"...

[Shoggy]

Please download aquasuite 4.72.00. When flashing the poweradjust make sure that only one device is connected if you own more than one poweradjust.

Thanks Shoggy

I had a look on the AC forum and found the original thread too

I should have been more proactive really, apologies for being a spoon-feeding addict...

[Mr.Pie]

this looks really nice!....now if i can somehow afford it :p

Just updated aquastream to 4.72, got this "update" now

[Shoggy]

I know about the wrong update status when you install the latest version. We have not updated the XML file on the server since this update is only required for customers with an aquaero 5 AND poweradjust or multiswitch. If we would add this as a regular version everyone would download it, update their devices like zombies and then wondering why nothing has changed

Alright, DHL is the worst way of sending stuff. Took a day off to receive my Aquaero... First their delivery man didnt even ring at my door - i got a packet from local post like 10 minutes before they say he "attempted the delivery" so i know it works. So they send me a SMS, not even a delivery notice, alright. The SMS tells me to phone to their support line to organize a new delivery. Alright. It's about 10 eurocents per minute, ok. So i go through their automated stuff and finally end up on "delivery notice". What i get there is an automated message that tells me that i dont have to call (THANK ME FOR PAYING THE CALL #?@!) and that i have to go on their website, dhl.fr to re-schedule a delivery.
I go there, track my order number, and here i am, nowhere i can schedule anything. I can put alerts, it works. Schedule, no. It's not the first time they fake a delivery attempt by the way, i took a day off at work JUST to be there to get my package, but nooo i bet they never stopped in my street. And my package is now stuck somewhere in a DHL depot in Lyon...
Alright back to the 10 cents/minute line, until i find a human operator...

German Post: Yes
DHL: No.

(edit) ha i won. Got someone at expeditions (not related) who did the job. Seems like they know their service is not working properly...

Man... I know that Aqua Computers had problems with the Aquasuite which caused delays with the 5 series but when I get told by people from their customer service department that I should have my item shipped in the beginning of April and then being told that it should ship out by the end of last week and it still not shipping is getting a tad bit disappointing.

Has anyone state side received theirs yet?

I'm also disappointed with the availability, I was hoping that SW would have stock by now.

[nej]

Is there any different which ship by DHL or Germany Post?
I have my AE5 being shipped on 20 April by DHL. Haven't receive so far.
I usually shipped parcel from UK to my country using DHL, it took only 3 days to arrive.
Btw I'm from Asia country.
Anyone have any experience about shipping duration from Aquacomputer?

[Shoggy]

@ohms: when you tell me your order number I can have a look. Most orders for PRO have been shipped, XT is a little bit behind and LT has not shipped so far because of the aquasuite which is not ready yet and a LT can not be used without it.

@nej: Deutsche Post AG (or call it Germany Post) is only responsible for envelopes and does not ship any parcels. DHL is a part of Deutsche Post AG and handles all the parcels. Within Germany you will not see much difference between both companies because you can do both things in the same post office but of course behind the scenes they go different ways
Our parcels normally arrive the next day inside Germany, within 2-3 days in Europe and within 7-10 days outside Europe. I have also seen several shippings which take more than 14 days. A lot of time passes by because of customs or other things. Altogether it is pretty normal that your parcel has not arrived so far. I would have been VEEERY surprised when it arrives within 3 days.

Thanks Shoggy but I did get an e-mail today that it was mailed out. I just wanted to clarify that my post wasn't a flame toward you guys but just frustration and to see if anyone else in the US had gotten theirs yet.

My apologizes if it seemed otherwise.

[YoooH]

received yesterday, still no chance to unbox it.

[nej]

Thanks Shoggy for the clarification.
I think I mess up DHL Post and DHL Express after I make a phone call to my local DHL centre.
Parcel from UK to my country using DHL Express, yes it take only 3 days to arrive.
I'm still happy, at least I knew my parcel are on it's way.

@YoooH
May I know how long it take from the date u get ur email notification until u receive the parcel?
Because my country are close to yours.
And I'm glad to hear that u receive your parcel.

[YoooH]

Hey Shoggy,
Can I use this with ramplex copper?



How much cooler would it be if I mount it with my ramplex.

[eKirts]

Any updates on when sidewinder will be carrying them? question was asked by another member around the 16th with an answer of "soon"

Shoggy, are you able to comment on this?

[Aquatuning]

Ahh... well my apologies, I thought aquatuning was the US store for aqua computer. well then, I will cancel my order and place it with you direct.

Thanks Shoggy, sorry again for my misunderstanding.

You are correct in thinking that Aquacomputer is a different company to us (Aquatuning) the reson that your order was not dispatched on the 14th is simple.

Aquacomputer had not released any stock.

Now we have seen some stock come in pre-order will start shipping.
