I'm pretty sure bundymania has one, but I wasn't able to get my hands on one.

yeah right, i got nearly all new stuff from watercooling companies here in germany, so the alphacool heatmaster too the software is available in english since september. i would say, itīs a good product besides the Aqauero. It can handle 24 watts per channel, so you can directly attach a Laing/Swiftech pump and it has lots of features. itīs planed to bring some software updates and a mounting system for 5,25" slots

All channels support 24 watts! Its a pwm controller! u connect the heatmaster by the use of the USB cable! Its just a usual usb cable like a printer cable. U connect the cable at the top left corner in picture 1.
pc independent means that u do not need continous connection with the USB cable. After u made ure setting u can remove the cable.

one picture of the software by scamps

Is it OK for a DDC to be run on PWM? I thought it needed pure analog power.

Or is this really meant for fan control only?

I think if the pwm frequency i high enought, say 22kHz and more , then it is ok. And you wont hear any buzz or winning of its motor

Hey.
We especially designed the Heatmaster so it can handle the DDC pumps without any problems. With this in mind the Heatmaster has, as stated above, an extrem high PWM frequency (over 20kHz which is a lot compared to other PWM controls) that is suitable to run all current DDC pumps and Fans without any of the disadvantages PWM normaly brings with it.

Hope this clarifies the matter a bit.

@Bundymania
Can you tell dimensions of tid control panel itself (without mounting stuff, just circuit board) WxDxH ( hight=the highest element)?

Hey,
the heatmaster uses the standard 5 1/4" measures.
The height is a bit more complicated because it varies depending on which
cables and plugs you use to connect it to your hardware. so i cant give you something valid here, sorry.
