NEW: aquaero 5 series

[SoMBrA]

Hello everyone!
I'm also having bad experience with the buttons beeing too sensitive, the only way to make it work is to completely remove the front plate! I think that If I could make some more "room" the buttons will work just fine but don't know what to use really...

Any tips?

Anyone know where I can order the relay plug in the US? Thanks.

Can a D5 pump be controlled with a Poweradjust2 USB Ultra(in conjunction with AQ5LT)?

I am thinking of changing my DDC 18W to an Alphacool VPP655 with an aftermarket top. But do these come with a RPM signal line?
I want the AQ5LT to monitor the RPM of the pump but I can't seem to find if Alphacool VPP655 has got a RPM wire or not!

Yes, a D5 can be controlled with a PA 2. You don't need an Ultra either, the standard works just fine.

The Koolance PMP 450 is the only D5 derivative I know of that comes with a rpm sensor.

Thank you!
So I take it that you don't necessarily need a RPM signal to control the D5 via PA2!

Correct, the PAs\AQ5 controls the pumps via voltage regulation so the RPM wire isn't necessary. You can control the pumps voltage based upon other parameters like fluid temps\or air temps. I personally think RPM is a useful item to know though.

pump rpm imho is usable in that sense, that it can be used as surrogate leak detector sensor in absence of flowmeter / pump failure detector, both if you configure for box to shutdown if pump's tach wire goes to motherboard fan header or via aquaero.
cmdprompt: BTW, sidewinder also sells premoded swiftech's pumps with tach sensor wire soldered on.

I did say "that I knew of" and now I know of two...

Just curious, they are all D5 guts right? In your opinion, is there any advantage with Swiftech over the 450? (as I stare at my two 450's)

[Church]

They all are actually made by Laing, and yes, same main "guts", motor, impeller, stuff like that. Only differences are - since some time presoldered tach wire for varios for ones sold by Koolance, motor&impeller only set without top by alphacool. On rare ocasions also different tops (eg. some set with preinstalled bitspower kit or a bit modded stock top (like G1/4 thread cuts)), but it's more commonly seen for DDC clones, not D5 family. You can also solder tach wire to D5 Vario by yourself, if ever wish to.

[Avathar77]

I am going to try to stick with my DDC 18W and connect it to a PA2 ultra and a AC flow meter to see how it performs!
From Martins Excel work sheet - comparing the DDC and a D5 gives me less flow with a D5!

Also in another note - I know using "software sensor Tool" you can get external Temperature data to Aquasuite Software. But is there a way to get the Aquasuite Readings(temp/RPM etc) to an external application like Rainmeter? or a windows gadget?

Thanks for winamp instructions, worked a treat!

That is great to hear. It was my first feedback.

It's pretty cool, eh!

Enjoy,

... or a windows gadget?

Hopefully, someday when the software matures. That would be awesome to have each item available as a widget. There is great potential here for this software. I hope the development continues (and hopefully picks up the pace a little).

cmdprompt: seems that you can add 3rd option. Stumbled upon top-less D5 Vario (judging by it having speed controller) with presoldered tacho wire in aquacomputer's variation for AMS (seen also @ppc-s).

@ Shoggy

How bout a quick tutorial on the Power Management Overview Page. I can add three sensors, them being a flow sensor and two temp sensors. But, how does the math work. Does it take something from the flow sensor, like volume per time and then tehe difference between the two temp sensor? For the sensors, should water temp or ambient come first, or should i use two different temp sensors.

.. or am I missing the point completely?

Thanks,
John

[jcrouse]

I am using Open Hardware Monmnitor and pulling in the CPU Package Temp to a Virtual Temp Sensor. I am then displaying it in a Graph on my System Overview Page. You can see the pic. I am wondering if anyone can explain why the temp jumps so much. This is an i7-2600 (standard clock) at idle.



Thanks,
John

Hello Guys,
Time to get rid of the (unsupported in Win 2008 Server R2) Koolance TMS 200 - sad, as it's such a nice bit of hardware, but let down by a lack of software=-support from the boyz over at Koolance.

Anyway, 2 quick questions, as I have not found a clear answer on this:

1) Will Aquasuite run in Windows Server 2008 R2 - anyone doing it currently?

2) Does the current firmwaresupport the LT in slave-mode yet - it will be cheaper and better to run 2x LT's, vs LT+ 2x PA's. I know Shoggy mentioned over a year ago this feature will come, but is it here yet?

Appreciate your feedback!

Shoggy, can you help, please?

Why don´t you send a mail to info@aqua-computer.de ? Shoggy-Sven might be on holidays or elsewhere ...

[Church]

scamps: just that answers to those questions might be interesting to other users here as well , but your guesses are very possible as well. We sometimes forget that vendor people on other side of net are humans with real life too

[MrBean]

Heya Scamps,
Idea posting in the forum was in the off-side change one of the Boyz here have tried what I was asking.....so yeah, not directly aimed at Shoggy et al, but, in case he sees it, all good

It's just I don't want to spent monies on a 3rd soltuion, which might turn out as half-baked as the other 2, with very little to no support. In that case, I could rather do my own - time is my only concern.

So yeah, hopefully one of our members, or Shoggy/Sven will give feedback as to whether this is supported on Windows Server 2008 R2, and secondly, if the LT is supported in slave-mode yet. After all, been more than a year since it was alluded that slave-mode will be supported in the future, so I guess this is the future....
