Temp monitoring

Post by gothic_modbox »

I'm deciding which display I want, and I've been looking at Matrix's since you guys just totally rock. I would like to know how many temp sensors I can hook up to an MX series display, and yes, this may decide whether or not I buy one.
I figure you need 6 temp sensors for the average computer(CPU, GPU, RAM, video RAM, HDD area, PSU), but I would really like to know exactly how many sensors can be hooked up to one display.

THe MX2/3 has 4 temp probe headers and the MX4/5 has 6. But you can connect a total of 32 temp probes in all to a unit, but it will require you to make splitters/custom temp probes to connect them all.

I was looking at getting an MX4, now I will not hesitate, especially since my parents are paying for my next computer (pauses for a second, then laughs in an evil manner)
Since I am thinking about making a dual-boot system, and want to have lots of cooling and my HDD's may be far apart, I will probably try making a splitter for that, if anyone has advice on how to make one, maybe a switch to change both the active temp probe and the active SATA drive at the same time, that would be awesome.......
