Cant find this part

MaxxSauce · 03-14-2009, 09:05 PM

Hi, I have looked all over for a 5.25inch double or single drive bay device that displays CPU temperatures, and maybe controls fans as well.

I don't want to pay more than $49 for it though.

Any suggestions?

Hi, have you tried newegg.com ?

I just did a quick look at found that, a little over what you said, but it was a quick look.

there are plenty out there for what you want, just have to pick out which you want now (there are more, I won't post more since it is really up to you to pick, I just picked these randomly as examples)

You won't be able to accurately monitor CPU temperatures with probes. And its idiotic to place them between the heatsink and the CPU. Better of monitoring ambient temperatures within the case with probes and monitor CPU temps with software or BIOS.

I have the Scythe Kazemaster which is really easy to set up, controls fans, and looks really nice to (+ cheap)

What Clay-joe said regarding temp monitoring.

If you want to control your fans just be sure the pots used to control the speed, are rated to handle the wattage you are putting through them. You dont want to have them burst into flames (no, I am not joking). Some units are crap and the pots cant handle the load.

Brands like Scythe have good quality parts, just do your home work before purchasing.
