A friend gave me a Lian-Li T4 thermometer (see URL above). I like it very much but it's taking up a 5 1/4 bay I need. It works using 2 wires with sensor probes at the ends that you attach to various components to read temps. I bought a T3 thermometer without giving it much thought. It fits in a 3 1/2 bay.
The T4 which uses 2 watch batteries (one for each guage) has one sensor right at the edge of the CPU. It was installed when I built the system. The T3 uses one molex connector. I tried to pull out the T4's wire but it's lodged tightly under the heatsink. I'm using an AlphaPal so I'd have to take the mobo out to get to the wire. I have no patience for that right now so I'm willing to sacrifice the T4.
Here's my question. I know how to splice fan wires (to attach to a fanbus) but will splicing work in this situation? This way I could just leave that sensor probe under the cpu and splice the wire to the one on the T3. They are double wrapped wires until you get to the sensor and remember, one attaches via molex, the other uses batteries. Also, I have no idea about their resistence values.
Any help appreciated.
