Where Are The Temperature Sensors On The MB
Cool a small area of the motherboard at a time, and check for changes in
the temperature readings. You should be able to quickly zero in on the location of the thermistor. There may be a printed lable on the motherboard at the thermistor location, something like 'TH 1'. There is a special coolant in a spray can with a long thin tube used for diagnosing electronic heat problems ('Freezedown' is one brand name) that works much better than compressed air and that can produce temperatures down to about - 40). -- Phil Weldon, pweldonatmindjumpdotcom For communication, replace "at" with the 'at sign' replace "mindjump" with "mindspring." replace "dot" with "." "Terry Pin" wrote in message ... Hi Folks Some guidance please, I've a rather obscure MB an Ibase I815E(www.ibase-europe.com/pdf/manual/etx/et815.pdf), which uses the IT8712 for hardware monitoring. I want to log the temperatures using Motherboard Monitor but need to "proove" that the temperatures being recorded are actually those being displayed. I intended to do this by spraying the localised area with chilled compressed air and confirming the displayed temperature dropped and this mthod has worked fine for the CPU. However it looks like this MB has 2 temperature sensors, where are they located, is there anything I should look out for? I can find the IT8712 but if I cool that both MB temperatures drop. Any suggestions much appreciated. Terry |

Drifting off topic a little, but if you want really, really cold temperatures, use a compressed air can upside down. The fluid that comes out is liquid nitrogen (about -190 deg C). Of course, I STRONLGY recommend you don't use this on any component in your computer, and definately wear eye protection if you do use it.

It's actually a freon-like substance, I'm not exactly sure of it's boiling point.

After a bit of googling (which I should have done BEFORE I started posting ....) it looks like it's probably (Freon) R134A, which has a boiling point of about -25 deg C and standard pressure. So not quite as good as those "freeze" sprays, but still a whole lot of fun (shatter plants, blow up drink bottles, etc etc).

They always were pro freon, anti hole in the ozone layer type propaganda. Then there was a big breakthrough in measuring some rather large hole over the south pole, and I got one issue where they said they may have to reconsider things. The NEXT issue I got, they were back to pro freon, anti holes, ain't nothing been proved etc. etc.; and the kicker was the newsletter editor had been replaced I hope they were right, cuz I know my company did it's small part in trying to drill a new asshole in the ozone layer If god had meant a cover to be placed on a vapor degreaser, he wouldn't have made them detachable. |
