What to Do: No inbuilt temp Probes???

Wofen · 28th September 2005, 10:11 AM

As the topic states, My new lappy has not one inbuilt temp probe. I want to be able to OC my lappy abit, but without temp probes I am worried about cooking the video card and the CPU.

Is there any temp probes that I would be able to place inside my laptop case to moniter the temps. I have looked into some probes but I have yet to find something thats like the normal computer temp probes, but runs on battarys, or usb. If anyone know s of soemthing like this, it would be of great help.

I have ChC, But I have no probes. I have a Metabox, and it kinda came as a shock to me that it did not have a probe. I want to try and get a after market temp probe and install in somewhere next to the cpu. I would not get a exact reading, but I would get a good close guess.

I want to know if anyone knows of a temp probe, thats powered by USB, or even battarys.
