Aquaero 5 XT Question

post #1 of 5

Thread Starter 
I'm thoroughly confused with regard to the Aquaero and how many fans it can support. i currently plan on purchasin the STH10 and am confident the Aquaero can reliably run 14 fans, but was recently contemplating a TX10-D. I thought that to get my moneys worth out of that particular case I would at least have had to go with a minimum of 4 480mm radiators and possibly even more. My question is how many fans can I run off the Aquaero 5 XT using fan splittters and these Noiseblocker PLPS 120mm fans? My proposed build is in my rigbuilder under Sasori, if you need to take a look at PSU ports etc.

Each fan channel of the Aquaero 5 can support 20 watts, but the total load across all channels combined shouldn't exceed 40 watts unless you're taking serious measures to cool the circuitry. So just use the rated wattage of the fan(s) you want to use as a reference and the rest is simple math. smile.gif

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. On the specifications for the Noiseblocker fans The input wattage is 1.8w per fan, so I'm guessing that's how much wattage rating each fan draws. Technically, I could fit a maximum of 20 or so fans... I might need to buy two if I go with the TX10-D then as it can support 40 fans on radiators with a pedestal. This CaseLabs business is becoming a very expensive endevour. wink.gif

The combined maximum is 60W!
