useing a z400 mobo for a build (NAS) i have concerns about the thermal sensor that HP uses to monitor cpu temp. can i jump the pins on the board. or can i use...................https://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-SL230...er-Temperature-Sensor-Probe-Cable-(60cm).html................ thank you. be safe.

Z490? What board, exactly?

Thar said, no external probe replaces the internal sensor on the cpu. I'm a bit confused here honestly. Not sure why you're concerned with its accuracy....? What am I missing?

Edit: Also, it's a NAS, which isn't cpu heavy in the first place...so the clu shouldn't get hot.

hey the senser can shut down the cpu if its not present on the mother board if i understand right.

Well, let's figure that out...

Again, what motherboard, exactly, do you have?

HP has a lot of proprietary things you have to work around like PSU adapter and adapter for fan header, also IO shield made to back-plate thus making cooling difficult too.

I dont know if that is a requirement or not. Neither sensor you listed reads the cpu...they read air temps. I highly doubt the pc will shutdown due to air temps.

If I was you, I would contact HP and ask if it is required, or try using the unit without and see if you have problems.
