3.5 Temp Reader
Anyone know if this will read negative temps?
If not can someone point me to a 3.5 like this that will?

Most 3.5" bay Fan controller/Temp. monitors temperature range is from 0 ~ 100°C / 32 ~ 199.9°F. I've been on google for about fifteen minutes or so an have not come up with one that has a useful range for our hobby. Let alone one that will even read past 0°C.

Too bad that would have finished off the cosmetics I was looking for.

Thanks for the assist.

A temp monitor like you want is very hard to find, most won't read negative temps and the ones that do are usually only available in red led.

You might take a look at these http://www.frozencpu.com/products/5392/tmp-34/Thermal-Star_Illuminated_Thermometer_-_Blue_Backlight.html?tl=g34c137s490

These are cheap and you can get them in a lot of color lcds. I used one a while back in a single stage build and they will read down to -50c before they go OL. The accuracy of the one I had was pretty decent, it stayed within 2-3 degrees of my meter (much better than Vapo readouts ;)). They do have some drawbacks though, they will not show tenths of a degree when they get to double digit temps. Not bad for the price, they look good and are plenty good enough to keep an eye on temps.

Plunty of choices outside of the 3.5" bay form factor, but I believe he wanted something that is for a 3.5" bay. Please correct me if I'm wrong, would open up a lot of choices.

Perfect!

I just ordered one and will rig something to house it on the front of the cooler instead of the 3.5 inch bay.
