Internal CPU temp. vs external sensor

darkfool81

What are your experiences with procs internal temp sensors vs an external sensor placed between the proc and cooling device?

I was looking to grab a unit with temp monitoring sensors, such as http://xoxide.com/sunbeam-chormatic-windmill-black.html. After reading http://www.overclockers.com/articles1378/ an article regarding cpu internal sensors, I wonder if this is something I really need or if it would just be a waste of money.

Newtron

I don't know what any of that is

xeroismygod

Take this nerd shit elsewhere.

Calebros

all i can tell you is

If you are not OC'ing you are paying for bling factor.

dudes probably got neons and a clear wall on his case

all showing off the internals

Kong

if smoke comes out of the case when you turn it on, you're not doing it right

Just lie back and drink a Sunrise over Moscow

you will feel better

La la la, is there a chance any of you cool people with super powers would move this to G&T?

All others, please ignore, less of course you have something interesting to add, in that case please do and thanks.

I hear ice cubes are good

I mean, they work for drinks right?

Jordyn

Hold on.

I know I got something interesting around here.

Jordyn

I did a GIS for "interesting."



Eh?

I'm interested.

IpseDixit

Well do you have a liquid nitrogen cooling system? Because if you don't well then you should get one of those first.

Dude, DRY ICE! Electronics remember?

Motherboard internal sensors are usually not accurate.

There is no reason for you to buy any temperature monitoring hardware for any reason.

You can use the software motherboard monitor 5 if you want to see what your internal sensors tell you.

I mean, bit him in the what?

testicles?

the taint?

testicles and taint?

Calebros

Newtron

I think the last thread I saw that was yours was the one where you were announcing yours and Fram's wedding

I don't keep track of these things

Jordyn

And that one when I got that job for a little while.

It's a water cooled system, always overclocking. I've a 64 3200 right now running at 2.7. Thursday I'll be replacing it with a Opteron 170 full of potential for overclocking nerdgasm joy.

Them's a lotta big fancy words. How many hard ram processors does that got?

Newtron

those numbers must mean its fucking fast as hell

holy fuck

you should make some sort of DC thread Jordyn

So I can pick up on what the hell is going on in DC

You know, we have a whole subforum for the discussion of comic books.

On a lighter note, I have no fucking clue what is going on. I stopped reading 52 and a bunch of the other relaunch stuff, post Infinite Crisis.

Detective Comics is great because Paul Dini is writing it. And Darwyn Cooke just started an ongoing Spirit series that only has one issue so far, but that issue was fucking great.

I need to pick up detective comics again. I heard something really awesome about it recently, but I forgot what it was.

at uni theres this liquid nitrogen tank out in the open that i walk past every now and then


sometimes its got like a 2 metre high tower of ice on top of it


it is probably for the computer science guys with their fancy rams and megaflops
