| 258832 | 2004-08-06 09:44:00 | Hi there all. Just bought a 3R R101 case for $160 with a power supply thrown in and I see Ascent have them for $196.88 on clearance without the power supply. Anyway the manual says to use double sided (both-sided, The English in the manual is amusing) adhesive tape to fix the heat sensors. I would imagine that it would need to be heat resistant. What do people recommend? |

| 258834 | 2004-08-06 10:49:00 | I wouldn't even put my finger on the CPU heatsink which according to the sensor is at 36deg and that sensor has to be put under the heatsink next to the CPU with thermal paste and all. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 258835 | 2004-08-06 21:53:00 | 36 degrees is not hot. My normal bath temperature is 38c - very nice on a cold night. Bye |

| 258836 | 2004-08-07 02:52:00 | What about hotmelt glue?:D If the sensor falls off, the CPU is probably too hot anyway. The adhesive on most "celloptapes", including the double sided ones, ages badly. It dries out and becomes unsticky. But that takes a while, and your new computer will be obsolete before then. I'd be inclined to mix up a bit of epoxy. |

| 258838 | 2004-08-07 03:45:00 | All hardware stores sell a double sided tape, suitable for exterior use. I have a roll in front of me, but worse luck, no brand name on it. I would not use hot melt or D/S sellotape. Bye |

| 258839 | 2004-08-07 04:05:00 | Heavy duty doublesided tapes often have a foam core. This is an insulator. Not helpful for a temperature sensor. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 258840 | 2004-08-07 04:24:00 | I saw on one of my web travels a howto which showed a hole drilled in the side of a heatsink, parallal to its base and about 1.0-1.5mm from the base. Some thermal paste/gel was siringed into the hole with allowance for the sensor and about 5-6mm to secure the sensor and paste with epoxy. IIRC, the hole terminated so that it just overlapped the core of the CPU, it did not project into the centre. Cheers Murray P |
