Review on Aquacomputer Quadro Fan Controller PWM Fans by Robert Viher

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product good software

This is a great product and the Aquasuite software has some real benefits. This is the perfect complement to my liquid-cooled MSI MPG Gaming Plus motherboard. I use 4 temperature sensors to measure ambient air, coolant temperature on CPU, GPU and after heatsink. PWM runs 3 fans on my heatsink and a fourth on my pump. No need for Aquero and I don't see the point of a digital flow sensor, but I use RGBpx. I've replaced my case's power indicator with two addressable LEDs that change color on a gradient based on my CPU or GPU temperature, whichever is higher. The Aquasuite software allows me to do this, as well as things like averaging the speeds of my three radiator fans. If the average speed gets too low, the second LED will flash to indicate an error. My only complaints are rather minor. There is little documentation, and while there is a forum, most of it is in German, so searching by keyword can be a problem. Questions can remain unanswered and answers are often inadequate. That being said, what annoys me personally is the lack of an ability to configure preset sensor values at startup before the sensors are loaded. This means that during the first 15-20 seconds of startup, my temperature-adjusted LEDs will be flashing red for no good reason. *shrugs* I said my discomfort was pretty minor.
