D5 NEXT
● Screen content preventing analysis by DRM or similar methods cannot be
analyzed.
● Multi monitor setups must be configured using standard procedures of the
operating system. Special features of the graphics card driver like “NVIDIA
Surround” or “AMD Eyefinity” must be disabled.
● AMBIENTpx is not available while “NVIDIA G-Sync” is active.

Water temperature sensor
The D5 NEXT continually monitors coolant temperature using an integrated tem-
perature sensor.
If necessary, the temperature sensor can be calibrated by adding an offset of ±15
°C.

Options for flow rate measurement
The D5 NEXT is able to continuously calculate the current flow rate from a variety
of pump parameters after an initial calibration process. Aqua Computer refers to
this method as “virtual flow sensor”.
Alternatively, a mechanical flow sensor can be connected to the fan output of the
D5 NEXT controller unit.
Flow rate measurement using a mechanical flow sensor is significantly more accu-
rate than calculating the flow rate from pump parameter readings. Nevertheless,
the “virtual” flow sensor is sufficient to detect failures or for example
blocked/kinked tubing.

In order to enable virtual flow measurement, select the corresponding entry in the
“sensor type” selector.
Prerequisites for use:
● Double Protect Ultra as coolant
● Pump speed of at least 3000 rpm
● Flow rate of at least 80 l/h
● No additional pump in the cooling system
● Calibration process completed
Flow rates below 80 l/h will not be displayed due to increasing imprecision of the
calculation method for low flow rates.
