Water Temp is 72C?!?

DoTheDog · 04-02-2002, 08:52 PM

I am not sure this is the right place for this but...My mbm is now reporting my h20 temp at 72C. The goofy thing is that mb temp is 26C (in the past h20 temp was about 1C warmer than mb), and the CPU is at 38C. I just checked it in the bios and the bios is reporting the same temp.

I have an in line temp probe on my rad outlet. Has anyone ever heard about one of these things going this bonky? I know that the water temp is not 72C or my CPU would be a lot hotter

. Any Ideas?

Could the probe be short circuiting in the water?

Dunno. I haven't checked for leaks around the probe. It is a temp probe that goes into a 1/2" T and connects to my Asus Power Temp thingy on the Mobo. It was working fine before...

The other thing that is wierd is that it just started getting wonky but it does seem to be moving i.e. getting hotter over time. It started at about 55C it is now at 72C and holding.

Most thermistors have a negative temperature coefficient, so Schoolie's point is a good one (resistance goes down when temps go up).

hmmm maybe probe went bad...double check it

your probe is obviously reading really badly. I agree with the idea that it is most likely shorting out in the water. take it out of the water and see what happens

I have another probe I can use. It's just a pain to get take out the old one and put in the new one. Rippin' out all the stuff, draining the system etc....

Maybe I'll do it this weekend.
