Hello, got an this d5 pump https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-141-XS&groupid=962&catid=2141
Want to connect it to my aquero6. How do I connect it? Been looking at my pump power cable and its to big for any of the aquero outputs.
Any help on best way to proceed?
thanks.

Only thing you can do with aquero with that pump is moniter pump speed.using 3 fan input.

You can't control that pump with a Aquero6, you need this one.

You can also the use the PWM version of the D5.

There is a cable that adapts the molex to aquabus, it's called a PowerAdjust cable.

Consider the PWM version of the same pump.

Most probably will just get the aquabus version.

It's actually just a PowerAdjust, there are 2 versions; Normal and Ultra dependant on the output required.

It's a 3 pin only device and can be used as a fan controller as well.

My personal recommendation would be to get the aquabus pump and not worry about the poweradjust.

I have a pair of them, and they are great. I would recommend the NZXT IU01 internal USB hub, as it has a whole load of USB headers.

I've run mine (XSPC D5 Vario) on a poweradjust 3 linked to my Aquero 5 LT.

Works fine, however my pump is on it's way out and I'll probably buy the PWM version instead when I replace and use the poweradjust to power some of the fans instead. With the PWM D5 it's powered by molex direct from the PSU and speed is controlled by the separate PWM cable that can come straight of the aquero and it doesn't actually draw any power from the ito.
