    Normally, I keep quiet so as not to upset anyone, but I must say something here. I purchased the Aquaero LT version becasue I didn't want to be fiddling with / staring at the LCD / front panel. My understanding is that it had software functionality and would tuck nicely away on my case. All I wanted was a simple fan curve based on a given temperature (Water temp). Well...my bad for not reading the fine print...there IS no curve available for my version. Basically, I have a slider to manually adjust fan speed...and even that fails if you are using a Razer keyboard.

    Secondly...the VRMs heat up like crazy at lower fan speeds...so much I decided to purchase the passive heatsink for additional cost. Guess what? It did no good whatsoever. In fact...I cannot lower my fans (which are paired Aerocool Shark 140mm's) to below 60% or the VRMs will overheat, and the fan speed begins throttling wildly.

    Shoggy provided great tech support, revealing the incompatibility with my Razer mouse, but I am ultimately / incredibly disappointed with this product. For me, it sucks. The M-Cubed T-Balancer is likely what will replace this thing...which also sucks...but a little less.

    If you do not have a Razer, plan on purchasing the VRM waterblock, and do NOT buy the crappy version...maybe you'll have better luck than I did.

    Never, under any circumstances should you be naked near fishing tackle.
