And if you lack Excell, you could test my x86 LCDproc driver for the 633 http://www.crystalfontz.com/forum/sh...?threadid=3019 to get data into OpenOffice.
If you are working with the Cfontz stock probes, mostly be sure to trim off the little black boot around the probe<>wire junction as it is not water tight on the probe side or wire side. I also buff the part of the probe head I glue to with 1500 emmory & clean it with isopropyl.
I have no active plans to build a test bench, evaluate water blocks, & put up reviews.
I have 9 or 10 1/2" T's with 3X redundant DOW probes, single wire for 3 probes, tested wet for months, sitting in a box unused. 2 more in use, and another 10 or so unmounted DOWs.
If it would in some way lead to a regular source of quality waterblock and radiator reviews, I'd pull the two wet ones, mail you the dozen T's, calibrate cull and test to your satisfaction. Send back the odballs to keep me amused & make an offer on the ones you like? |
The probe that I thought died came back to life. My guess is it dried out. I sealed them with silicone before putting them in the loop but I didn't when I was calibrating them. My guess is some water got in there as I probably sealed it in when I siliconed them. Should have followed pH's article a little closer with the plastic bag.
I got 8 probes total still. I got 2 that read almost identically that I use, one for water in and one for water out. However I am only using the water in temp and GPM temp for results. I am eventually going to use different equipment for recording temps. The CF633 will be put into my main desktop for non testing use.
I am still planning on going with the equipment originally stated in this thread
