Subject: Re: Thermostat
All the comments re this thread have been valuable. But nothing has a
thermostat!
The closest I have come to temperature monitoring was not a thermostat, but
AsusProbe, the software monitoring Asus provides for the Windows
environment.
OEM's should follow the needs of the equipment, but some do not. I have
never had an Intel CPU fan fail or an overheating problem. I have not been
forced to stock replacement CPU fans. I did check pricing at the Intel site.
Replacement 2500 RPM fans cost $30.00 plus shipping. Why would I pay that
when I can buy those Spark
7+ fan and heatsink from www.thermaltake.com for use on 478 sockets for
$19.00 each from ASI? By including them in my regular shipments, I do not
feel any shipping charges. I use these when I move a CPU that does not have
a fan from its motherboard to my new motherboard in a rebuild situation. I
can and will use this fan if and when one of my Intel CPU fans quits.
I forgot to mention this fan does have a thermal control sensing unit. Go
look at all of the devices there including this one

Those folks are like Cyberguys, if you need it, they most likely have it.
Their specialty is cooling where Cyberguys has a lots broader range of
products.
I have to make brief visits to those places. They are addictive like Radio
Shack. I am a nut for all the gadgets.
