🌡️ Enhance Precision Cooling with Phobya Inline Temperature Sensor Nickel Review

So far so good, installed it on my CPU beater block to monitor the temp coming from the CPU and so far it's reading very accurately. Was in use for about 60 days.

I have 4 of these from different vendors. Fortunately, there are no leaks or physical imperfections like some other users. However, none of the four shows the same temperature on the same test line. I've installed three of these in three different assemblies and each time it reads 1.5-2.5°C higher than any other in-line or in-line temp sensor in the system. The rest is consistent. This is consistently high. The offset seems fixed so it can be recalculated, but it's useless when trying to…

As others have said, this is difficult to fix, but possible. The plastic ring is easy to remove, which is actually a good thing because it makes it easy to retrofit this sensor. The fact is that the sensor is covered with foam inside, which does not insulate heat well. So when you remove the ring you will see a foam strip that should be there to press the sensor against the metal wall of the fitting. Peel and cut a piece of foam covering the inside of the sensor and tape it over the foam on the

The black plastic outer cover came loose from both sensors during installation when I tightened the fitting. This can hardly be avoided, since there is nothing left to grasp when turning. The sensor is a standard 10kΩ thermistor sandwiched between a black plastic outer cap and an inner metal sleeve. It measures the temperature of the gap between the plastic and the inner metal fittings, not the temperature of the water. This has two consequences: 1) the measurement accuracy is degraded because…

A lot of reviews have said problems with this but I found it very easy. Yes, the rubber nozzle rotates, but at this point it's twisted and people tearing the rubber off are pulling on it too hard. I connected this to my drain connector and then ran a drain through it. The temperatures appear to be accurate, although I have no way of confirming this.

It worked for a while but after I recently redid the loop the seal slowly started to leak through the plastic cap during testing and venting. Found this out after swapping out where it was in my loop and licking the heatsink and cut. Always check your loop before turning on the device!
