About this deal

Once you start the Aquasuite program the Aquaero will show up, and a warning comes up that shows the firmware is out of date, and this device will not function with this version of Aquasuite. It is not always easy to visualize what to do by merely reading instructions. So my goal here is to use many screen shots, and walk you through how I set up my two Aquaeros and the Aquasuite software on this particular build. There is an OCN Aquaero Owners Club if you haven't already seen it. None of the links on the OP work anymore, and if I posted it there it would just get lost. Now that the Aquasuite software is installed, all the firmware is updated, and all the MPS devices are set up, it’s time to setup the temperature sensors, fans, and make some Curve Controllers which all happens in the Aquaero tab.

In addition, the aqua computer OCTO provides two RGBpx outputs for digitally controllable LEDsready. These can control up to 180 LEDs with many effects. Each LED can be configured individually in color and brightness. In addition to the proprietary RGBpx LED products from aqua computer, RGB products from other manufacturers can also be connected to the OCTO fan controller using an optionally available adapter . There is also an input for a flow sensor. This means that the OCTO is in good hands even in a water-cooled system. Monitor mode is more passive, acting purely as a means to detect any leaks as a result of pressure changes. The LEDs turn green, and you can use this mode with a much lower negative pressure of ~50 mbar vacuum. The third mode is Release, which, as we saw before, simply vents air into the system after having turned off the vacuum pump and associated valve. If an alarm triggers, and believe me it will, the default setting has the LEDs light up an aggressive red along with a buzzer alarm from the unit coupled with any system-specific shutdown actions if programmed with the optional accessory cable. Unfortunately, this is where things dropped from the high I was operating in during testing. I was working with older firmware most of the time, but using the LEAKSHIELD without having configured the alarm settings was a mistake I would not want you to make. The pressure gauge is far too sensitive otherwise, with even the valves in the LEAKSHIELD alone not 100% leak-proof to the sensitivity of the thing. Once configured to ignore "minor" leaks, you need to really put some effort into identifying the associated pressure and flow-rate changes, after which things do get much better. I am going to skip over the Controller tab here to start with because you have to set up all the fans properly before we can set up any Controllers.A temperature sensor directly connected to the stainless steel housing of the pump ensures a very accurate coolant temperature sensing. I’m going to have the name of the Current tab>Sub tab on the top of most screen shots, and I am also going to outline a red box around that particular tab to make it easier to follow along.

The high flow NEXT can be configured conveniently and directly on the device via the built-in OLED display and the three buttons. The display shows the desired measurements as values or graphics. All settings can be freely selected, saved and displayed. I would like to say one more word: the only thing I am sorry about today is the fact that we have been producing water cooling systems for 20 years and this product is only coming to the market today. It would have helped so many customers and brought water cooling into completely different areas. Nevertheless, I am of course pleased that we are taking an important step into the future today!The fan connector of the D5 NEXT can be configured comprehensively, the high maximum power output of 25 watts allows for connecting multiple fans using suitable splitters. In addition to setting fan speed manually, fan speed can also be controlled by temperature. In temperature controlled mode, set point controllers as well as curve controllers are available. If the corresponding temperature falls below the set limit, connected fans can either be switched off or be kept running at an adjustable minimum speed. For secure fan start-up, an intelligent start boost with speed signal monitoring can be configured for each fan channel.

The fan output is compatible to PWM fans with four pin connectors only and features an overload protection. RGBpx LED output can alternatively be configured as aquabus interface for connection to an aquaero 5/6 If you are adding an Aquaero LT to have four more fan control channels, you will need to flash the Aquaero LT into a slave unit to work off of the main Aquaero XT. Nothing can be connected to the Aquaero LT unit except for the five pin USB cable. The four fan channels of the QUADRO can be configured independently, the high maximum power output of 25 watts per channel allows for connecting multiple fans to each output of the QUADRO using suitable splitters. In addition to setting fan speed manually, fan speed can also be controlled by temperature. In temperature controlled mode, set point controllers as well as curve controllers are available. If the corresponding temperature falls below the set limit, connected fans can either be switched off or be kept running at an adjustable minimum speed. For secure fan start-up, an intelligent start boost with speed signal monitoring can be configured for each fan channel.

Next on the same Aquaero>System Tab there is another section at the bottom called "Expansion Devices", this is where you reflash the Aquaero LT into a slave unit. Press the "Reprogram Device" button and in about a minute it is flashed into a slave unit.
