Yeah, it looks like that might be what I'll have to do. I was kind of hoping to avoid the monotony of splicing all those tiny wires though (4 connections at 3 wires a piece). If that's what I have to due I'll do it.

Hey everyone,

I made temp probes with a wol cables and the dallas semi-conductor temp probes. They work great. However, the only wol cables I can find are just to short to make it to any of the components I want to monitor (cpu, gpu, hdds, etc.) Does anyone know where I can find longer wol cables ...

Agreed. If I had it to do over again I'd probably snag a praetorian, which is basically the 210 without the door and the front fan array. However, I'm sort of invested in this now, I like the clean fron bezel and door, and I really look at it as a learning experience - I've never cut a blowhole ...

[quote=
only like the Cooler Master cases that have the two intake fans on the front. Your case is really a different design. The blowhole fan should be an exhaust fan (heat rises). The problem with only exhaust fans is it creates a vacuum in the case and you get little dust bunnies at ever case ...

Excellent.

Thanks you for the detailed information on or your install. I don't know why by I hadn't even thought of two-sided tape. I guess I wanted to reinvent the wheel. These simple tips will help alot.

Perhaps you have an opinion on the following. This does stray of topic a bit so fell free to ...

Thanks for the info. Good to know you keep a sharp eye on the forums and answer even the little questions.

thanks again,

Lee

Thanks for the tips. I think I'll probably just run the cpu fan full. I don't really want to do any soldering on my component as its really beyond my level of expertise A couple of questions?

Your vid card proabe is thermo expoxied. How did you secure the others?

About how difficult is it to ...

I thought as much when examining full listings. However, when examining the broad listing of all mx models the features are cut up in such a way as to make it appear that each model has specific attributes.(Henry if you are reading you might want to look into this). Maybe I was the only one that was ...

:eyebrow:

Henry,

Thanks for the reply. The links you provided were very useful on getting in depth knowlege of the MX. I suppose my real question what's the difference between the mx2 models. The only difference I can dicern from looking at the feature list is the color of the face plate and lcd ...

If I use MBM to get a core temp how can I route that info to the lcd for display?

Also, what are valide temp probe applications? Where should I install them?

Thanks,

Lee

I plan to use the mx211 as a fan controller and temp monitor. Can I monitor the cpu core with the matrix orbital temp probes. They look kind of fat for such an installation i.e. unlike those flat probes we're used to seeing. How would I go about installing the probes for this specific application ...

Currently building my first pc. I would like to use something in the mx series as a tempture monitor and possibly a fan controller - or in conjunction with an independent fan controller. I would also take advantage of it's cosmetic appeal and use it to display text, cd tracks, etc.
What's the best ...
