Today, I was playing around in my computer case. And when I turned on my computer, I saw the LCD Temp thingy doesnt display anything. It says L*F on it. WHen i play around with it tells the air temp...what the hell is wrong? Awww come on help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need ALOT More details, like what the heck your talking about!
 
I NEED A LOT OF HELP BUT MY CAPSLOCK IS BROKE AND I'M GONNA BE VERY VAGUE IN MY DESCRIPTION...

k, seriously......your thread is just as important as the next, yelling is not necessary.
 
xdviper, I've changed your thread title from "DaNG!!!! I NEED HELP, JUST CLICK ON THIS"

Please try to use descriptive titles. You're more likely to get prompt help that way.
 
dont worry about how i got that videocard heatsink on there :)

you know that gold thingy that you place under your heatsink to tell the cpu temp?, well that thingy isnt working right... when i play around with it in my hand it tells the temp of my fingers, 10*F
so how can i fix it
 
That gold thingy with the kabob and the thingamajig that hooks into the aparatus with the other whatchamacallit? Ohhh yea...
 
Impluse, you frogot about the flux capacitor!

In any case, Maybe what you are actually talking about (A link to the device, or even a device name) would help us attemp to help you.

I'm assuming you're referring to the thermal sensor. It sounds like the sensor is bad, you'd have to replace it.

wait wait wait, did you put the sensor between the heatsink and the cpu? :eek:
 
Heh... If he did now we know why it isn't working anymore, it was crushed flat. :eek: In any case, to replace it you'd probably have to buy a similar unit unless the particular sensor cable is removable (replaceable) from the display.
 
yeah ive placed it under the heatsink......it doesnt work because it was crushed???
damnnn i really wanted this shit to work

Should've read the instructions or used a bit of logic... HFS surface = as flat as it can be so it makes good contact with the chip, thermal probe stuck in between the two and presurized = not good.

Hahahaha.


Although, there are some flat sensors which wouldn't get crushed, but then your card would probably be fried by now.. So I don't know what to think of it.

For future reference, Please don’t correct my posts, because I don’t care :D


Also, as stated, that should have been connected TO the heat sink, not under it
