Gotcha!

 

It does have sensors inbeaded in the motherboard, but i choses to go with diodes. They are more accurate and i can read them from the front of my case.

If you are looking for motherboards, stay away from XFX. I have had nothing but trouble. I am looking to upgrade that next.

Blahahahaha I wasnt expecting that. LOL good one Neo!

ok this might be a stupid question but i am new to comp. building so...

BACK OFF.

anyways when i get a case with that read out screen on the front does it come with senors for that read out or do i have to get a motherboard with sensors then run those to the readout screen?

eric

 

Most of the time you will have to buy a seperate unite to watch your temps. Unless you buy a thermaltake case..I know one of them has a built in LCD.

If you get a unite...or a case with one...it should have sensors..or diodes...you then use thermal tape to secure the sensor to a place on the computer you want to be monitored. then u run the wire to the lcd, giving you the readout.

thank you for explaining that to me. your a good man, i don't care what they say.

eric

 

They? We wont flame on you man. After all, we all had to begin somewhere. I came here not only to help people but to learn and im sure a ton of other people can say that too. This is a tech forum so expect a lot of questions.

One who asks a question is only a fool until they do.
Those who dont are fools forever.

 

NP eric, if you have any more questions fell free to ask.

well put neo...

damn man, those are some deep thoughts for a freshmen in highschool. when i said that it was a joke that i always hear people saying so i thought i might try it here but apparently not. some old guys might have gotten it though.

eric

 

lol i knew it was a joke...lol



cooked

 

as long as one person got it. thats all i need.

eric

 

lol


i am going to highjack my own thread here...

Eric i see that you fish....where are your favorite places...biggest fish..lets here some stories..



cooked

 

i fish on or around lake conroe, only decent lake near where i live. yes i do live in conroe. its about 45 mintues north of houston texas. stories, damn i got a bunch. um well i fish everyweekend basically. biggest fish is a 5 pound large mouth i hooked on a 1-ounce while spinner, last cast of the light, i was fixing to change to a worm for the night, and this sucker inhaled it and tried to run with hit. he slammed it so hard i almost lost my rod in the water. brought him in stared at him (didn't have a camera, i was with a friend just shiting around) let him go. theres a story and my biggest fish all at once. you fish cooked? if you do lets hear your anwsers to those questions.

eric

 

Well here we go...

I fish a couple of times a month...more in the fall and spring.

We mostly hit a small pond on some privite property. The have some nice smallmouths, largemoughs, crappie, bluegills, walliey, and some hudge cats.

Some times we will hit the kankakee river, and some other small spots we know of.

About once a year me and my dad go up to N wisconsin up in eagle river. That is where i cought my bigest fish.

34in 9lb tiger muskie. I have a total of 5 muskies all a tad bit smaller then my biggest.

Hum i landed a 6lb 4oz bass in flordia, boy was that fun.



cooked

 

man that sounds like alot of fun. well your biggest bass beats mine so congrats. yeah i go fishing every weekend now. its my anti-drug as the commercials go. i love fishing, expecially in the early morning. its peaceful.

eric

 

Thats great man...i wish i had the chance to go every weekend. Its kinda a hassel to get out to the river when its an hour away, and you dont have a lisence yet...lol



cooked

 

yeah its a 20 minute drive to the lake, and i am still too young for a linsence (17 in texas to have one, i'm still 16). i love being that close. but i bet river fishing is more exciting than lake fishing.

eric

 

OH yeah river fishing is great. Especially with a fly rod! There is nothing better then hooking a Northern Pike on a 8ft fly rod!



cooked

 

i've never fly fished. i am going to try it soon, hopefully. yeah that does sound pretty awsome.

eric

 

Flyfishing is great. It was a little tedious at first but once you got the hang of it it was really cool. If you get the chance, but a cheep kit, and tie your own flies. It is cool to do, and it is an awesome feeling when you catch something with a fly that you made.

Oh yeah you dont need to be on a river or a creak eather...i like to wip it out and just let it float on the water, and i real in every so ofter, and make it jump. The panfish really love it.
