Best placement for case tem sensor?

Just what the title says...

...another..case..temp..sensor?

More input needed.

Close to the mobo, but not in direct airflow. If you're realy concerned about heat buildup, etc, get a DigiDoc 5 with 8 sensors and spread them out ;)

I just received my multipanel & it comes with a case temp sensor as well. I just want to know the best place to put it. (I don't have any case temp sensors besides the one on the mobo.)

just use it for your video card gpu :D, its much more useful there. CPU and hd temps are the ones that matter, if your comp is stable then its okay, are you the one in your avatar btw???

[nerdlogic]

I'm not touching my vid card GPU. I'd have to take off the fan to get it under there...besides, the only OC I would probably do on my vid card would be the mem speed. hmmm...I wasn't thinking of using the HDD sensor, as it seems pointless to me.
Yes, that's me. Why do you ask?

because ur hot:cool:

Hey!!! PhobMX! You're Mexican! I am not hot. Just Mexican. ;)

the best place for the tempsensor might be on your motherboard between the n bridge and vid card. because there would be no air from cpu or case fans to inacurateize the readings unless you have a side blowhole.

that is what PM's are for. this thread is about case temp sensors. Straying off topic always happens but not like this!!

sorry if i sounded a bit harsh.

Dude you have to get out more if you didn't know there were girls in your country!

I would put the case temp sensor anywhere, as long as it doesn't move much because that would make the measurement meaningless. I'd say next to the hard drive cage on the mobo side because it would be out of the way there. I'd use it to measure built-up case heat there.

If you want it to be a sort of redundant CPU temp measurer you could put it between the back door and the mobo tray, under the CPU. But I bet it'll always say the same thing there.

PS if we're giving our opinions about what is appropriate or not (which is for mods) If someone wants to say my avatar is sexy, please don't PM me about it (it's not even me).

Well you guys, thanks a lot for all the input. As for Ugmore Baggage, I'll have to restrain myself because of your irresistible avatar... hahhaa. You guys helped me out a lot and this little girl appreciates it. ;)

omg that sux!!! do whatever you want, whenever and wherever you want, same applies to the topic, i guess a good position for the case sensor is the upper part of the case, between psu and cd/dvd rom drives. Find a spot where its between heat sources like the psu and the hsf...

[nerdlogic]

Damn right!!!
Too much air flowing around there (92mm tornado running...hehehe) see here too:

(You may notice that it has no memory...I'm waiting for my replacement.)

[Cjwinnit]

A good place would be inside the case somewhere... ;) (sorry i woke up early today.)

[PhobMX]

i think a good place would be to stick it where the p4 psu connector is in that picture... you get the idea?

and i guess you modded the tornado's power connector so it uses power from the rpm sensor too, right?? Thats the way my 80mm one is working ATM
