I'll be using 2 pwm D5 pumps can I connect the 2 pwm connecters into the aquaero 6 XT PWM connectors and control the speed? obviously the molex connecters will run straight into the power supply. Thank Springy1989
Yes, you can connect two D5 pumps to your Aquaero 6. For full control and compatibility I suggest you get Aquacomputer D5 pumps as most, if not all, other PWM D5 pumps are not fully controllable with an Aquaero without a mod.
From Aquacomputer rep: "Most PWM-enabled D5 pumps do not comply with Intels PWM specifications. They are missing the pull-up logic for the PWM signal."
Yes that should work fine as Choppa says, with the right pumps, as long as you are talking about two of the four available fan headers and not the two headers marked as PWM
I already have 2 Swifteck mpc655's they have the 2 pin pwm connecters is this a problem? Don't want to pay out for 2 new pumps, the worst case is I just plug them in the aquaero and they run 100% with no pwm control? sorry for the questions really want to wrap my head around this first time using controllers.
Yeah that's right worst case you won't have the full control ability that you should.
The problem has always been a bit varied with some people having no control, some seemingly working just fine and some, somewhere in between. Just try yours and see.
You can always do the simple mod that is talked about heaps in this forum that fixes it right up.
Just another quick question is the aquacomputer D5 PWM pump usable with the aquaero 6 I don't mean the version with the aquabus connection as I want to use a bitspower mod top.

It should be an issue. a word of warning be carefully when using Bitspower pump top. The pump top and certain sized fittings they don't get along that well due to the fitting width meshes into the other in/outlet port. Which makes it difficult to even put a stop plugs in. I regret buying the Bitspower top for my one pump.

I personally have little regard for the Bitspower d5 top.
It provides less pressure and flow from the D5 than standard top. compared to other models that improve over the standard the difference is significant.
The spacing of ports problems.
The system that attaches a tube res to form a pump/res combo (like in the pic above) effectively isolates the res from the flow path. There is almost no mixing of the coolant after the loop is filled.
Plus I personally don't like screw in tops. I have seen cases of them working their way loose. A bolted down top can't do that.

Well they aren't problems as such, just disadvantages compared to some other models. It will still of course do it's job.
They look good too compared to what else is available now. It just needs an update.
