USB..... :) i was shocked to find that the controller wants to use the (nonexistant) onboard serial connector. Now i have to cut the end off a external modem cable and use my contuinity tester to match the cable pins to wire color code. then i have to find the pinout for an 9 pin rs-232 connector (cause i dont remember which pins are xmit and which ones are receive) then make a cable that connects to the external serial connector and route it inside the case and connect it to the g-froster. yea yea i know Waaa Waaa! im a big whiney baby :) When the next revision g-froster xe usb 1.0 comes out please let me know. you and cisco are the only ones left using rs-232 :)
Thanks

If you had read the froster thread you already saw that the controllers are serial yet, we are not cheating on people saying another thing or hiding that.
Also, we are always online to help people with the controllers.
Cheers.
sorry, i wasnt trying to say you where misrepresenting your product... on the contrary im very happy with the controller im just whining because its going to take me time to make a nice cable.

No problem at all, we are trying to do our best, it is just not possible for two guys to release a new line of controllers, keep updating the firms and soft, and also researching on USB at the same time.
Also, the problem with internal headers is that they are all different from different boards makers, so, we are doing an adapter for the internal serial to external serial in the mean time for the people that don't want to just move a pair of cables or don't have an internal header.
g-cable only $499.99 order now and receive a free length of heat shrink tubing.. :) g-cable is not affiliated with g-froster inc. please allow 8-16 weeks for delivery offer not valid in all states.

Okay... wth do I about froster that used to read temp 5-7c higher than all of sudden decides to read 10-20c higher, than when it hits below 0, start counting from 99c?
That's easy... You need two things - A salt stone and a coin.Quote:

Hey Jinu
Thats a simple one change or re-solder the temp probe I had one that did the same and was easily solved with this method.
just awesome... probe was already thermal paste epoxied...(i've been having some probes coming loose so decided to take the step...) Gotta love this... -_-; Another probe down the drain.
Yes sure!! Its the same for me also! But I bet the controller is working again yes?
No it isn't.
In fact another one just bit the dust. Was working just fine and same thing all of sudden again.
Sympton #1. It starts reading temp about 7-10c higher all of sudden when was working fine previously.
Sympton #2. Froster LCD when starting up blinks back light on and off.
After this when you restart, you will have that lovely 99c for -1c read and what not.
Hey Jinu,
The blinking display means its running on the Basic Firmware not the main firmware. Try reflashing it using the software and I would still change the temp probe. Are you using XE1.2 or 1.5. I have had 1.2 exhibit this problem but 1.5 never.
What's the status on getting Reggie's controllers fixed?
Modules being made, will shipp in a few daysQuote:

i installed the new firmware then went into the BIOS, after overclocking to the point where asus boards do the "hard boot" restart (that would turn off the older firmwares) the new firmware displayes checking for psu power 4sec. 3sec. then goes back to evap temp and fan speed after the board restarts!
awsome work guys! finaly i dont have to use 2 psu's to keep it running through reboot.
if you want the firm just pm ssilencer.

What version Xe controller do you have and what asus mobo using?
i am using a gfroster xe 1.2, and a asus p5wd2-e premium, i use the com connection from the froster to this port on the mobo.

sweet, thats exact same mobo im using, and same controller as well. Have you done the mods to the PCB yet to get the main power connector of and onto another PCB?
also Did you have to change the serial plug connections at all to get it to work? Or did you just plug it in and it worked.
Just I cant seem to get mine to communicate with mobo?
i dont know what mod you are talking about, could you explain?
for the com connector make sure you have it plugged in the right way, and there also might be a setting in the BIOS? other than that idk.
