How short can the sheath be though? Those 6-12" lengths I get on RTDs and thermistors are a bit excessive for plumbing into most people's PCs...

//edit: The nice thing about the probes is that since the entire thermometer is in the IC that wire gauge doesn't matter. I think both mfgrs that sell them to PC users use wire similar to fans, but that's overkill. Whatever works and will not affect the reading in anyway. I've used wrapping wire without problem.
4" sheath length leaves 3/4" protruding from those crosses in the cal thread
and those crosses would have to be used if caling them is to be avoided
I'm thinking of this as a test setup and not an end user device

not sure of the method to ensure a void free potting of the sensor in the tip
anyone done such ?
