here is a temperature sensor mod i did with a water sensor for aquariums found at local fish store..the goal is to take the lcd screen and use it as a readout for an inline temperature sensor connected to my pump top, which is pumping out of a highly modified honda radiator. I also wanted to set it up as a two pin connector on the LCD readout so that i could switch between the inline sensor, an ambient sensor, and the sensor that came with the device itself, so that i could dump it into the rad and see how accurate that inline sensor is. I modified some fan headers to set that up. Works beautifully for the eight bucks the thing cost me
I have since used shrink tubing to clean up that ugly wiring and it looks much cleaner LOL

This is my ghetto mod, fan died needed to keep the low profile for other pci cards. so I used plastic steel puddy to rig up my own low profile cooler. an old bus heatsink and a fan from a dead laptop. works better then stock. no temps on an fx5500 but to the touch, big difference. 350/500 nibitor bios as well.
Hey, Life got in the way of living. I have been away for a while.
I checked out this topic again from start to the end. Thanks all you ghetto modders for making me giggle smile and swoon. Amazing and epic topic this is.
btw that Athlon system I posted on page 3 of this thread:http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...2&postcount=62 is still running, though it has been rebooted because I upgraded the storage at one point and the PSU failed and needed replacing. The pencil mod on the CPU is still good too.
