Aquaero 5 XT

Has anyone used the Aquaero 5 XT?

Just wanted some feedback on it. It looks good and shiny from what I've read but is it worth the money or are there better control units out there?

I want something that looks good on the front of my computer and can manage 'automatically' the fan speeds and flow rate of my pump based on the temps. i.e. as the temps rise I want something that will speed the fans up and pump up to address the heat rise. Is the Aquaero 5 XT good for this?

For a full list on my PC spec please see this thread:

the aquaero controllers are damn good! A bit tricky to setup (there are sites to help) but once you have everything set up properly it is awesome. Best controller i have used so far (have a few controllers just sat here that they replaced) not 100% if your pump is controllable through it you would have to find out

MCP35x can be controlled by connecting to the pwm header.

Thought it wasn't possible on the 5?

There is a PWM header(which works as a normal fan header as well)

ah ok, how would it work with a dual pump setup? Would it just control one pump or could I get it to control both? Maybe with a 2 to 1 pwm cable of some sort?
