Temprature sensors

micketh

I got a new case the other day and it has front panel temp display. I would like to display the temp of my FX5700Ultra but where would i put the sensor on the gfx card? I have the same problem for the cpu. I want to be able to find the temprature of the air in the case, the gfx card temp and the processor temp.

You will probably have to put a temp probe on the gfx card heat sink same with the cpu if you temp panel has inputs for sensors

hmm but wont that only tell me the temp of the heatsink and not the component.

dont know if u can do this, as it depends on how thin the wires on the prob are. But I have a thermal take Xaser III case, that came with a heat sensor linked to the fan controller and display. It runs betweens the pins on the CPU and sits underneath it, where the sensor for bios is. Becareful though, and dont force the wires between the pins, cos it could damaged the CPU. The wires on my sensor are VERY fine. hope it helps!

thanks but whats the alternative if the wire is to fat?

Why not just use a program like AIDA32 it covers most temp requirements ?

Those thermal probes have to be place uder the heatsink right in between the Core and Heatsink for the best effect.
