Ingnoring Sensors...

#1 Post by eTools » Wed Dec 20, 2006 10:29 pm

Would any of you recommend ignoring any sensors wit the TP Fan Control Utility? I've read that the PCI sensor isn't attached to the head sink, so why should it be used as an indicator as to weather the fan should speed up or not.

Thanks for your replies.

You should only ignore sensors if they are getting too hot and messing with the control scheme set up in the *.ini file for TP FCU. Otherwise, everything should be fine. :)
