The QUADRO is an innovative four-channel RGB controller for controlling LED strips of RGBpx series of Aqua computer and also a PWM controller for also four fans . In addition, four temperature sensors can be connected . The QUADRO is connected via USB 2.0 header to a correspondingly equipped motherboard. The configuration then takes place via the aquasuite software.
Features
- Programmable four-channel fan control
- Four fan outputs with up to 25 watts per channel and speed monitoring
- All fan outputs with 4-pin plug and PWM signal adjustable
- Four temperature sensor inputs
- RGBpx LED output for LED strips and fans with individually addressable LEDs
- USB 2.0 interface
- Aquabus interface
Control for PWM fans
The four 4-pin headers can only be connected to fans that are controlled by PWM. Thanks to the stately 25 watts per channel , several PWM fans connected by Y-splitter cable or Daisychain can also be operated. The software can choose between automatic, temperature-dependent control or a speed according to manual settings. Each fan duct can be configured individually.
The configuration of the QUADRO is done comfortably via USB with the software aquasuite, the unlimited number of QUADRO-Controllerscan manage at the same time. The USB connection can also be disconnected after configuration, the settings are stored directly in the device. In addition to the USB interface, there is also an aquabus interface available in this variant.
Effective lighting control
The four RGBpx LED outputs can be used to connect AquaPC's corresponding RGBpx strips and can also be controlled via the software. The slots supply a total of 64 LEDs or just four strips with enough power. The technology behind RGBpx allows each LED to be controlled individually. Alternatively, you can connect a slot of the Splitty 4 (ZUAD-1007) by Aqua Computer, which also fans of Corsair and NZXT can be controlled.
The QUADRO and the aquasuite software can be used to create a variety of effects and especially smooth animations. Among the special effects include the sound-to-light effectwhich responds to sounds output to the computer, or an effect that translates, for example, the rotational speed of the fans into light effects. With the AMBIENTpx effect , the colours of the border area of the screen can also be transferred to RGB LED strips, such as a backlight that accentuates the screen content.
Four sensor inputs can be used with appropriate temperature sensors to detect temperatures and visualized as colors. In addition, the support QUADRO the aquabus interface and can therefore be with the controllers aquaero 5 or 6 using. The aquaero can in this case all outputs of the QUADROcontrol or transfer sensor values from the aquaero to the QUADRO . A maximum of two QUADROs can be connected via aquabus to an aquaero 5/6 at the same time.
