S_C Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 OK, I feel like a real dweeb asking this but I need to know what is the correct location for the temperature sensor for the cpu... I have a A7N8X Deluxe asus board. Should it be between the cpu and the heatsink...or in the fins of the heatsink... Help....

Special_K Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 my rule of thumb is to never place anything between the cpu and hs, you want as much contact with the die as possible. i dont know about other people, but i would never do that. do the latter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 some people prefer to put them under the cpu by routing the wires through the pins in my case i have the temp probe between the fins at the base of my heatsink away from the fan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 I agree with bishop...I usually see them put on the back of the cpu, right underneath where the die is. Just run the wires around the pins. DONT put it between the cpu and heatsink...thats a BAD idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
