Do you really think they meant temp from some other source than the thermometer reading they provided? ....lolz. That's just ludacrist.
and by not correct..I specifically mean you warning peeps about 45 degrees, when KNC specifically said "up to 105"... Are you trying to confuse people?... Those are the specs. Period.

I was warning about sensor placement (go read my previous post on why!) and you insist on ignoring what I write. Stop distorting what I said!

I run mine at 69C reported and I posted a lot about the improvement from hotter temperatures with my own setup. What the hell is your fight? Do you think there is a "cold KNC" conspiracy out to get you or what? Seriously, some people will take anything posted as a personal fight. Get off your high horse!

Then why did you warn him to be careful, when he said his temps barely reached 45?
What is to be careful about then considering sensor placement?
I'm even more confused now.....
What is the point?
What is the concern with the sensor?

I think I was quite clear but here it is again distilling the arguments for different sensor placement THAT I KNOW OF (again I am not attacking you and I was not trying to prove anything about sensor placement, I was just giving a word of caution.)

Sorry to the readers that have read this already above and that are getting tired of a 1000 page thread:

Reasons to warn another user to be cautious about the assumption that the sensors are placed directly on the ASIC:
1 - user's unit has bags wrapping coolers instead of fans and is reading a low temp
2 - unit mentioned above started having problems (should we abstain from posting one line of concern to not get anyone offended??)
3 - my own posted personal experience removing cooler fans (small increase of T) versus removing case fans (large increase of T)

Reasons to not warn another user about the assumption that the sensors are placed directly on the ASIC:
1 - Emilia said so apparently
2 - hot is good and we don't want to mislead other users that can only read 1 page back in the thread.

Frankly KNC's customer support told me a lot of things that were not true before because they wanted to rush me (such as 5 different delivery dates and different locations of the unit). Perhaps that has changed but forgive me for posting warnings based on observations to a guy with plastic bags for fans (which I think is totally awesome and have reposted before but still plastic bags for fans):
