A challenge for the electronics guys.

Alright here is the deal.

Check this out:
http://www.benchtest.com/gp_Temp.html

Now we got a simple and cheap solution for readings temps. But thats not enough, I want to be able to do something with these temps. I want to be able to controll my fan speeds with that data using something like speedfan or similar program.

Some guidelines:

1 Needs to be cheap
2 Needs to interface with compy, idc how, throught he gameport the same as the temp one would be nice.

The onboard speed control is NOT a reasonable solution. I dont trust to put my fans on them as they can draw a fair amount of power and also I find that many boards leave out the speed control feature, unfortunetly.

Alright, any Ideas?

Link no worky.

edit: nevermind

Works fine for me.....

I think Maxim has the exact chip(s) you are looking for.

Have a part #, link or info or anything.

I might be able to figure out how to hook something like that up....maybe....
