What do you use for temp probes?

[Negative Design]

I want a good temp probe..my TTXIII from Xaser stops at 0C and gives LLL I need a good probe,post what you use.

Also,does anyone know if a Silverprop can be modded to do TEC?

I used to use an Enermax temperature probe to read my peltier-cooled 9800 Pro's core temperature, it works really well, and saved my card a few times via the overheat alarm-feature.

I have tested it to be good down to -20.6 degrees celcius, it may well be good lower than that, -20.6 was the lowest I could get with my cooling ;).

You can get the Enermax "transfer panels" from newegg for cheap - search for "Enermax Transfer Panel".

Sweet! thanks man :) 24$ is a great price for it,it doesnt match my case color but its cool :)

I just bought a silverprop and it looks like it can be used with a TEC with a cold ..and thats why i asked,maybe I can buy a coldplate from them use it.

Did it say 90$ or was it me? lol they dont say how low it goes..I hate it when they do that :( I couldnt find it anywhere that sez the enermax transfer panel does -20 either.I running under -0 now with my TEC and I think its at -10 but my cheap sensor sez "LLL"

I don't know if the enermaxes are 'guaranteed' to run down to -20, but I got mine right down there with a cold room-air temperature, and peltier cooling.

I wish they had specs on them :( on their website they say its stops at 0.

Btw how did you get a probe on ur 9800?

I placed the probe right behind the GPU core, pressed up against the back of the PCB behind the core, underneath a piece of neoprene, clamped down via my waterblock's mounting hardware :).

Not 100% accurate (readouts would be a little hotter than the actual core), but more trustworthy in my opinion than the shoddy on-die sensors used with most newer graphics cards. On-die sensors are prone to software manipulation in a big way.


My Enermax panel (3.5" silver model) goes down below zero without hitch; a little "-" appears in the left corner of the litte readout, to indicate a negative temperature.

Oh ok,I thought you placed in on the core lol.I want something that does more than -20 but for now thats good :D thanks.

Type K thermocouples are pretty accurate.

Type K thermocouples are pretty accurate.

is that what you use? I did some searches and couldnt find any in the US :(

But it looks to be VERY good, goes to -75! real sweet lol.
