How to Use the Temperature Probes from My Motherboard?
Asked by

I'm wrapping up my PC build, and I've come across three temperature sensor cables included with my AsRock x870e Taichi motherboard. They look like thin black cables with a thicker end where the probe is. I'm curious if these temperature sensor probe cables are worth setting up and how exactly I should go about using them. My setup involves dual GPUs, a CPU, and a dual-fan air tower. Any tips?

Those probes are just additional sensors you can place wherever you want, like on a hard drive or near GPU components. The motherboard has its own temp sensors, and yes, you can set fan curves in the BIOS based on those. A lot of people prefer using tools like MSI Afterburner or FanControl to tweak fan speeds more easily.

Honestly, you don't really need those temperature probes for a standard PC setup. If you knew you wanted temperature monitoring, you probably would have figured out where to place them already. You can manage temperatures for your GPUs and other components using software like FanControl, or you can just let the motherboard handle it based on CPU temps.
