The aquaero is an absolutely autonomous working microprocessor-controlled device with USB 2.0 interface. All speed parameters and sensor values can be set and visualized in an user-friendly menu or through an even easier to use PC-software. Additionally, the graphic LC display can be used to display almost any information using the popular LCD software LCDHype.
Several aqua computer products can be used to expand the functionality of the aquaero 6 controller. These expansions are dynamically mapped into the menus and display pages of the aquaero, creating a consitent control system rather than individual devices.
In maximum configuration, the following devices can be connected to an aquaero 6 simultaneously:
Two aquastream XT pumps
Eight poweradjust 2 controllers
Four mps-based devices (flow sensor, pressure/fill level sensor and D5 pump with aquabus)
Aquaero 6 produces a 4 pin PWM output to drive fans, if your splitter will work on your MB or other controller PWM output then it will work with Aquaero 6 as well.
To be a little more clear, this product will function as intended regardless of operating system, this is why the description states "autonomous". All settings and configurations can be done via the touch screen/IR remote control. The AQ6 also has USB connectivity which can be controlled by software, however it is windows based, no Linux version exists.

It'll work on any PC. It get's it's readings from the temp sensors & fans, the PC's OS doesn't matter.
