Why, why, why, why? Did I say why?

When using my computer, I typically am looking at the monitor, not bent way the heck over looking into my case. Oooo, look, a pretty light, oh and it has words and numbers on it... Must stare in fascination whilst drooling.

Not.

21° C is definitely cool enough for many of today's overclockers, perhaps all but the hardest of the hard-core. I have an older hyperthreaded 2.8 which runs stock speed typically at 31° to 34°, and is stable when overclocked 20% to 3.36MHz, still running "safe" temps under 50°.

Also, Celsius temps are the expected standard for virtually any overclocking work.

Um, if it cools better than the stock Intel cooler than it most certainly cools enough for overclocking. I run my Core 2 Duo E6600 at 2.8GHz (from 2.4) with stock cooling, and I could easily push it more if I was so inclined.

celcius is the only way to read computer temps

Very nice idea. Hopefully Tt is smart and releases a line of case fans with this little trick for applications involving other heatsinks, seeing as how their offerings are lacking when it comes to bang for the buck.

For those with Windowed cases this would be cool.

Yea I agree near but not practical. I'm wondering where a good place to put it would be. It needs to be visiable but still cool. Hmm turn the computer backwards? Ooh and sorry but..... *stock. I understand people make mistakes but I feel the need to correct!
