Hello,
I'm in the final stages of completing my water-cooling build. I have two questions to clear up so I can finalize my internal wiring setup. I've read all of the Crystalfontz LCD & CC2 documentation in preparation, but only know its theoretical function since I have yet to physically use it....hence the questions.
1) In order to get CC2 to shutdown the PC when CPU temp. "x" is reached - do I have to use the scab probes or can I use the motherboard/cpu temp. sensor to achieve this?
2) If the probes are the only way (noooooo
), my concern is the reliability of the readings since the probes are too bulky to be affixed to the CPU. Any suggestions as to where I can mount the probe near the CPU in order to get a reading that closely reflects core temps?
Any help or info is greatly appreciated. I of course do not hold crystalfontz liable for any tips/info provided.
