Passive Heatsink for Aquaero 6

This black anodised aluminium heatsink mounts directly onto an Aquaero 6 Pro or XT controller. It increases the thermal headroom of the onboard fan channels, allowing higher sustained power output without active airflow. The unit ships with all mounting hardware required for installation alongside the optional Real Time Clock module (70215).

Builders with limited case airflow

The passive design suits systems where a dedicated fan cannot be fitted over the controller. It is not intended for users who need the absolute maximum cooling capacity that an active water block provides, nor for anyone running an Aquaero 5 or earlier revision.

Compatibility limited to Aquaero 6 Pro and XT

Only the Aquaero 6 Pro (70227) and XT (70028) are supported; older controllers will not accept the mounting pattern. The Aquaero 5 water block (20023) can be added later for active cooling if required.

FeaturesMounted on an Aquaero 6 controller, this passive heat sink improves heat dissipation and thereby increases the maximum power output of the fan channels.

Questions about this item

Do I need an Aquaero 6 Pro or XT controller to use this passive heat sink?

Yes, the heat sink is designed specifically for the Aquaero 6 Pro (70227) and Aquaero 6 XT (70028) controllers and mounts directly onto them.

Can I keep my Aquaero 5 water block (20023) and use it with this heat sink on an Aquaero 6?

The Aquaero 5 water block (20023) can be installed on top of this passive heat sink for active cooling; very old versions without the second narrower bump require washers for mounting.

How do I verify the heat sink is improving fan channel performance after installation?

The heat sink increases the maximum power output of the fan channels; you can confirm it is working by monitoring fan channel load and temperatures in the Aquaero 6 software interface.
