NEW: aquaero 5 series

I had the same issue flashing. The key is the jumper but I'm not sure why since my unit is brand new. I was about to throw my XT in the garbage until I stumbled on that piece of information.



Sorry, what do you mean "you may need both RPM and ground wires?" The 450S has a 2-pin molex (yellow & black) for power and a 1-pin molex (blue) for RPM (http://www.koolance.com/water-coolin...mp-450s_p0.jpg). The 2-pin molex will be going to another device to power the pump. Can the 1-pin blue wire simply be attached to a XT fan header?



So there is no way for the XT to understasnd multiple RPM wires coming from different fans when connected to a single XT fan header via a Y-splitter correct?



Thanks.

I would try just the blue wire connector as is, it should work if it's all grounded to the same PSU, but in testing I've used various power supplies and some times you have to add the ground to complete the pulsing circuit.

To get more RPM monitoring channels you would have to expand, I believe you could create up to 10 channels with extras but I haven't dug enough enough to completely understand the options there yet. Every fan controller and MB header is only capable of measuring one fan per series string. It measure "pulses per unit of time", so adding more pulses to that wire would screw up the signal and you get weird readings. There is no way to really fix that other than get more channels or make sure all the fans on that one channel are the same so you assume they are all about that one RPM.
