Excuse my ignorance but i think it's suppose to be like that. Sorry for jumping to conclusions. The one thing I dont get though is what the manual says about about the GPOs. In the manual of VK204-24-USB under section 2.2.1 it says Advanced General Purpose Outputs & GPOs 1, 2, 3, and 4. Now, fro...

Does anyone know if running 2 fans off of 1 fan header will effect the rpm reading of that header? I ran two 80mm's off of 1 header on an Areocool Gatewatch and the rpm reading was very erratic,... jumping all the way from 200 to about the normal rpm max. Will the MX series do the same? I wish they ...

The LCD backgrounds stand out more the the charactersdo and I dont really like that. Anways,... from all the different MX models the on...

The probe screws right into the reservoir flawlessly. Its the fass-o-matci reservoir. I want to know if there is any way to get that probe to work with ...

For the MX2 you can connect 4 temp. probes and 6 on the MX4. The probe needs to be a dallas one wire probe. You would be able to use the probe in water aslong as you insulated with epoxy. Personally, I like a VFD better just because they are brighter, and they can withstand more extreme temperature...
