ok. i just got it today. and its a little fan controller thing with a temp. monitor too. i put that temp probe on my waterblock like RIGHT NEXT to the cpu. should i get a right reading? or will it be really off?
I have the same thing. Everything is pretty accurate besides my CPU temp. The reason is because it's on my heatsink. The only way (from what I hear) to get exact readings is putting the sensor BETWEEN the socket and the cpu. Not between the HS and CPU, that'll damage it.
With my sensor on the HS, it's about 10 C's off. For example, Aerogate says it's running at 44 C's, but ASUS Probe (my temp reader) says it's 55 C's and kinda fluctuates a bit. It's normal though.
