Default Thermometers?
Where can I buy a temperature probe that I can slip in between the edge of the cpu and waterblock?

Thanks

Thats what I have. It is not the greatest but it gets the job done. You can monitor either probe temp or monitor the differnce between them IIRC. (have not used mine in a few months)

Probably will get one of the DM6802b from Ebay. I'm not going below -50 Celsius right away.

Thanks for the help mates.

EDIT: I bought this.

The probe listed on ebay does read below -50C . -50 is the rating of the probe not the thermometer. Any K type should say down to -50C... its just not as accurate after that point. Mine registered -74C on DICE, and I do not recall what it read running LN2...

EDIT: at least as low as -135C

Accurate temps are not that important. As long as the probe is consistant it will do perfect for what we do. We aren't keeping meat or semen, we're chilling hardware.... and the temps between systems are going to be relative at best with any cooling anyway.

... so pay no attention to how "accurate" the probe/thermo is. The purpose of using them anyway is to determine a cb/cbb threshold and monitor so the load handling of the cooling doesn't break down unchecked.

So that one I got for $12.99 from Hong Kong should do fine.

What is cb/cbb?

cb = cold bug
cbb= cold boot bug

cb is when you are already running and the comp bugs out or locks at a certain temp <0

cbb is the point at which the pc will not post/boot below or at a certain temp.
