Where do you put your sensors??

[desrin]

I have a sensor for the case temp for an led on the front of my case, i also have a sensor on my intake fan that controls the rpm.


Where is the best place to put the sensors??

I put my case temp sensor around the chipset heatsink on the mother board where there isnt a lot of air flow that way i get what i feel is a temp that displays something more accurate than if i put it where there is constant air flow. as for the intake, i would again put it in a low air flow area so you can get more air moving through your case.....just my opinions though not scripture

I put one inside the fins of my 32's NB. I put the second in the fins of my Zalman 9500.

I use software to monitor my cpu and chipset temperatures. My antec p160 has 2 sensors. One is taped onto a memory stick, the other is attached to one of my 4 hard drives.

Memory Stick, NB Heatsink, Outside case of the hot side of my radiator.

This was, of course, when I had a case with temp sensors... Now I do everything important via windows.

Depending on your system, use Speedfan. It is a nice little util that will grab all the sensors (including HD if it supports). and show you current temps..
