Aquacomputer High Flow 2 53292 Flow Sensor G1/4 Aqua Water Cooling

Product Information

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. Note: Data from the high flow NEXT can be transmitted to a connected aquaero 5/6 via the aquabus interface. As an alternative to the USB interface, power can also be supplied via the aquabus interface - in this case, however, the RGBpx functionality is not available. RGBpx LED output can alternatively be configured as aquabus interface for connection to an aquaero 5/6

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. 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. When you have add enough calibration points let the aquasuite calculate a curve by pressing this button.A temperature sensor directly connected to the stainless steel housing of the pump ensures a very accurate coolant temperature sensing.

Alternatively to the LED strips offered by Aqua Computer, LED fans made by Corsair and NZXT can be connected using the optional accessory RGBpx Splitty4 (item code 53267, not included in delivery). This Curve Controller right here alone makes the investment into the Aquaero very much worth it! What makes this type of set up so awesome is that the fans will only slowly ramp up and down with your coolant temperature.

I actually save frequently to both Profile 1 and Profile 2. Profile 1 is my main everyday profile, I keep Profile 2 the same in case I want to try something a little different than what is on Profile 1, and I can do that without messing up Profile 1. 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. The high flow NEXT is more than just a flow sensor. In addition to recording the coolant flow, it also measures its temperature and quality. These features in combination with the stylish RGBpx lighting and the built-in control including OLED display make the high flow NEXT interesting for both professional users and water cooling enthusiasts.
