Hi folks,
I'm installing a Sunbeam brand front panel card reader in a friend's
computer, It's a card reader, a fan controller, has ports for USB,
firewire, audio and has an LCD screen that shows temperature and fan
speed. It's a gizmo that caught his eye and he wanted it so now I'm
the guy he's asked to install it.
I'm trying to figure out what to do with the two temperature sensors.
I'm assuming they are both just to measure the temperature inside the
case because I'm not sure how they would be placed to give an accurate
CPU temperature reading. Maybe in the heatsink fins or is that not a
reasonable place to put a sensor? If I did that, what would a normal
temperature be in the heatsink fins? And where would you place the
other sensor where it would most accurately gauge the ambient
temperature inside the case?
The sensors just look like small wires at the end of a flat cable.
They're thin, but not paper thin.
Any ideas on where to place these would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob Kruse
