BK,
They are great, when this vendor gets them back in stock for $36 dollars if I didn't have one I would get one as this is a great deal.

I received one for Christmas and just installed it. I am not super experienced in computers yet but installed well and operates as advertised. The set up is a little tricky but you get the hang of it after a couple of resets. Steve

[Ebola]

any one know where is to get them for about that cheap?

[Ebola]

so can anyone answer my questions. thanks

[XprincoX]

just got mine today and just install it... this thing is swwweeet!! And yes ebola it does have the capabilities to control your fans based on temps. Tho one thing is that all the fans need to be 3 pins, otherwise your gonna need a 3 to 4 adapter to connect it to the monitor. It also monitor your voltages by connect any of your VDC 4 pin cables into the docs female cable. and i have to say these votages reading are waaay different from mbm5, esp the 5v! :D

[XprincoX]

Here a lil pic of it in action!

[Warlord2]

looks nice I think Im going to get me one too

[Ebola]

thanks Xprincox. one more q. where do you get converters for molex to three pin? is it possible or should i just get some new fans.

[eh?]

how about where to get it cheap?

well im still in the process of finding em. But it maybe just cheaper to get some new fans, or just moding ur current ones... :D

Is the Digital Doc 5 the best tool for this job, or are there other products I should be looking at?

[XprincoX]

well there many different types, but the digidoc just has more features... Like it can monitor fan speed and turn them on based on temperature. It also monitors ur system voltages. Others devices may only monitor temperatures.. :D However, theres even more complicated ones that even monitor clock frequencies. I suppose it just depends on what u wanna monitor and how much ur willing to pay. :p

[Diu]

I don't really think the DigiDoc5 is useful.
I got mine a month ago, and now i was wondering should i sell it or not.

Yes, Xprincox, The voltage from Mbm5 and the BIOS is way different.
and Xprincox what case is that? Antec Sx1030B??

[XprincoX]

yea its the antec Sx1030B, but mine came with the enermax psu instead... :burn:

[Diu]

Wouldn't be weird, when u check the digidoc5 temp and stuff.
and u have to open up the cover to look at it?

[XprincoX]

not really.... just take a lil peek at it once in awhile, or just take the cover off. :D

[Diu]

lol,
and do u close the Blacklight of the digidoc to and sleep?
