temp sensors

[joker54]

Hey Guys, was told to come to this forum to get the best answers. Am building my first w/c system, and i'm using a koolance software based temp/fan controller board. Is it possible to get those wafer thin sensors under the cpu/northbride/gpu chips without moding or butchering the blocks? Or is there some other way to get good temp readings?:bang head

Is it possible to get those wafer thin sensors under the cpu/northbride/gpu chips Sure, just stick them between the CPU/NB/GPU and the blocks....and then you get to ask my favorite computer question...."Are flames supposed to shoot out of it like that?".

Seriously, about the best you can do is to put the sensors on the side of a chip. Be very cardfull not to interfear with the proper seating of the block(s) though.

I guess if you're very, very careful you could attach one to the side of the IHS. But as billb said, don't let it interfere with the HS mount.

Sure, just stick them between the CPU/NB/GPU and the blocks....and then you get to ask my favorite computer question...."Are flames supposed to shoot out of it like that?". ROFLMAO ...
