[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1293223, member: 56379"] I was going to suggest this...but I wasn't sure if you had access to one. Even if it's not super accurate...the important thing is being able to detect relative differences with the things you try. For example if you're measuring cpu temp (or even the temp of your cooling fluid)...the idea is to be able to measure differences. So if the cooling fluid/medium is reading 150°F with one cooling setup...and then 140°F with a second setup...you know that you're making progress...even if the "real temps" may be 155°F & 145°F. Yes...many older computers didn't have as many temp sensors...or sensors that were accessible to users via apps. So you may have to rely on your multimeter setup for your temps. On older computers...heat wasn't as much of an issue (as it is on today's computers)...so being able to monitor temps as carefully wasn't as important. [/QUOTE]
