The aquaero 5 is a completly new developed controller for virtually any PC, but especially for silent and watercooled PCs. A new application which has been noted due development are HTPCs and multimedia applications. A powerful 32-bit CPU with Watchdog functions executes all functions in realtime. The aquaero device can be configured directly at the device or through the aquasuite software by attaching the device to USB 2.0. The aquaero operates fully autonomous and doesn‘t need a PC or running software in the background.

One of the key-features of the new aquaero 5 is the fan control. The aquaero provides 4 fan channels and it can be expanded with 6 external connected poweradjusts to a 10 channel fan controller. The rpm of all fans is monitored and the fans can be fully controlled in the voltage range from 0 to 12V by free defined controllers. The aquaero 5 provides fantastic controlling possibilities beginning with two point controllers up to intelligent PID controllers. All output channels are short circuit protected and providing current and voltage measurement. Also the temperature of the output stage is monitored.

The fan channels are supplying PWM free analog DC voltage to prevent noise generation. Any fan channel can deliver a current of 1,65A and the maximum combined current of all channels is 5A. Depending on the used heatsink the maximum power dissipation is dynamic limited. A integrated realtime electronic fuse can be set for any channel in 100mA steps

I managed to purcahse the aquaero 5 xt from germany after a couple of months of waiting and bought this face plate so i wouldnt have one silver bay device on an all black setup. However when i went to install it i was shocked to find that it does not fit. When you take the screen off you will see that the IR eye on the left side is a continuous piece of the screen instead of being that separate dot you see. My original faceplate has a slot cut out that extends on the left side where the IR protrudes so be sure that yours does not have that if you are going to purchase this. I have ended up just painting the factory one. Bummer i am stuck with one i purchased now.
