Aqua Computer Octo Hardware Rundown 

Really helpful. Most vids just show what you get and the software, this one saved me a lot of time time researching. Appreciate it. Subscribed for this alone, a lot of you tubers miss what we are doing when we actually use the hardware, which is the most important element. Thanks again.

Good purchase!👍 i like the aquacomputer stuff, top soft and hardware👍

Thanks for making this video, it was very helpful.

Thanks! I would have paid $10 more if they would have just sent all the cables to begin with. Frustrating to hunt these random cables and connectors down.

Thanks mate, really helpful

Thanks for this!

Can you individually control all the fans RGB with the Octo? Aka, plug all RGB headers into the A-RGB hub, then into the Octo like you showed. Or can you just do one colour/theme on all of the fans that way?

Hi, thanks for the video, so bad you dont talk about the flow meter as i can't plug my alphacool "temperature/flowmeter combo" on the octo and i don't know what adapter or cable i have to use :(

Any chance you can make a quick video and/or explain where that alarm/signal cable plugs into your mobo? As a complete noob, I couldn't quite follow your explanation in this video. I'm also curious about how you're using that RGB hub/splitter. Are you simply connecting all your RGB cables to it, then connecting it to the Octo? If so, are you still able to control each individual LED in Aquasuite, or are they like connecting PWM fans to a hub, where they all spin at the same RPM? Regardless, this video was really helpful for me already, and I really appreciate your effort!

Many thanks for this video. I would be grateful if you could advise on the cable to connect flow sensor to this OCTO controller. The normal flow meter would come with 3 pin header that does not match with 3 pin connection on this module. The 3 pin port on OCTO is very tiny.

was about to buy this but nvm, buying the cables separately is ridiculous

Hi 40rty, great and much needed video. I had a quick question about the signal cable connecting from the octo to the power switch header of the motherboard. So, I am suppose to remove the original power switch header that is connected to my front panel, and put in the power switch pin on the signal cable? Will my pc still power on if I press the power on switch from the front panel of my pc? Sorry if this sounds really dumb I just wanted a quick confirmation that this is indeed the way it was intended. Many thanks!

do you also have to connect octo to the power supply or does the power come through the usb connection?

is not a proprietary connecter it is a standard JST :)

I connected 2 octo to the splitty9 aquabus, but I cant find any of them in the aquasuite. I want to connect 4 d5next and 3 octo to the aquaero6 aquabus through splitty9. How can I do that？Thank you so much for helping me out：）

You said your wife is using the Splitty9 to use 9 fans. Can the OCTO not handle more than one fan per header with 3-into-1 splitter cables? I ask because I'm about to install the OCTO into my own system, with 10 fans populating the Lian Li O11 XL.

Hey 40rty. What did you do about the CPU fan header wanting a tach signal? And where did you source the signal cable? Thanks!

I only boght the RGBpx Adapter without the cable 😅Can't I connect that to the Aqua Computer directly?

Also, can you control D5 pumps with an Octo/Quadro, and if so, how?

where did you get the d-rgb hub? can't find one like it !

Thanks for this explanation. I have one question regarding the temp sensor. Can any 2-pin sensor work with the controller or you have to buy a specific Aqua Computer sensor ?

Hi, since you using external hub for rgb, does the octo/quadro detect as only one rgb fan or 90 max led still applied?
