Asetek WaterChill Xternal Water Cooling Test
The installation of the Asetek WaterChill Control Panel USB software
and drivers ...
It's time to install the provided software, which should be installed
before plug in the USB cable to install
the drivers immediately.
Here's a small step by step guide how to install the software.
If you already know how to install the software, it's possible to skip
the installation guide with this link.
Here's the small installation guide.
The software is btw also available on the Asetek
support page and should be downloaded in the newest version.
Go on with the Software installation by a click to the "Next"
Button ...
Now we get to the choice of the installation type.
I would recommend to select the option "Custom", because it's
not necessary to install all parts of the software.
Select Custom and click on Next.
Select the desired destination folder by "Change" and confirm
it with Next.
Here we can deactivate the point "VapoChill Control Panel"
because it's useless.
Then press Next (or Alt-N).
Now click once again on "Install".
No, don't click Cancel ;-)
But rather "Finish" and that's it.
On the Desktop and in the start menu is now a shortcut to the program
and a guide.
Now we can put in the USB plug of the Waterchill Xternal to install the
USB driver.
The Configuration of the Asetek WaterChill Control
Panel USB Software ...
This is the USB control panel of the WaterChill Xternal water cooling
unit.
The software is quite simple to handle and offers beside the adjustment
of the fans and pump speed,
also the possibility to store own profiles, which can be selected very
easy in the Windows Tasktray near the clock.
For example one quiet working environment and another High-End profile
with high-speed fans for Games.
In the left range of the window is the manual selection of the fan rotation,
pump speed, LCD brightness & contrast,
custom view and name assignment on the display and the start type of this
software.
Within the right is a diagram with all current data and among them the
respective values are shown.
The "Fan Control" Button opens a small windows with some more
options.
Here's are options to control all four radiator fans by temperature.
Another Hint is shown when you right click the temperature diagram to
adjust it easily.
All in all a very useful and simple to handle software, but nevertheless
with a lot of options to adjust the
WaterChill optimally.
However I've noticed that the software reacts partially somewhat slowly
and sometimes the values are only
accepted with a restart of the software.
But I'm sure Asetek will fix all small bugs very soon.
