wouldnt the resistance change with temp hoot? anyway this one sure looks familliar. I still have some more research to be done before i try anything. what i need is some soldering tips. I have a weller iron, rosin core, solder wick, and all kinds of tools >>>>>>>>JUST LACKING EXPERIENCE after righting like that i feel like speedj hehe thanks[/quote]
Yes the resistance changes with temp, but they got to spec them somehow. My guess is at 25C or some industry agreed upon temperature.
Soldering is an art with a touch of science. After doing it for 30 years, I would not even try to begin with only words. Do you have a scrap board of some kind you can practice wicking out and soldering the components back in on? Keep a clean wet sponge handy and keep that tip clean. The good news is that in-socket thermistor is not an SMD. Stickthroughs are not too hard to work with.
I'm still trying to figure out why Abit put the system thermistor right where the intake fan will blow on it. I realize they had to put it somewhere, but I'm not nearly as interested in what my room temp is as my case temp. And whats with that third temp reading that shows up with MBM or Sandra? It does change with air circulation in the case, but I have no idea where the darned thing is located. The KT7A manual does not mention it.
