fitting a thermal sensor to BLIZZPPC

[Framiga]

Hi

the best place would be out of the air flow of the fan, for a more reliable job.

Are you able to use a Dremel or so?

If you are 100% sure on what you are doing, make a little hole on one of the side of the heatsink (large enough to fit the PTC)

Use a little quantity of thermal paste (or better use an adesive termal compound) to fix the probe inside the hole.

Good luck :-)

no space enough to put/fix the sensor beneath the heatsink in the Blizzard.

@delshay

no need to drill the HD.

Put the sensor on the HD alluminium case, fixed with a screw and a small metallic clasp.

Use the aric silver adesive there too. (between the sensor and the HD).

If you fit the sensor in one of the heatsink grooves, the air from the fan, will give you false temperature due the air flow from the fan.

The best should be put the sensor beneath the heatsink near the CPU core but AFAIK, with the Blizzard the space is not enough (at least on CSPPC it isn't)

no, no, no . . . don't do it!!!

NOT between the CPU core and the heatsink!!!

[Framiga]

yes, yes Adonay its OK . . . i thought that when delshay said:

"u mean take off the heatsink & put the sensor there?..

but a cpu needs max contact with heatsink to get enough cooling.."

a misunderstanding :-)
