Thanks tolip.

And maybe you could give your opinion on the statement "Core temperature sensing is performed by circuits on the die"

The LM75 measures it own case temperature.
There _IS_ a die in there though.

The original statement may have originated by someone who was wordlexic.
Die(s)/PCB/cube whatever.

I don't rely on that temp for much of anything.
I ALWAYS use the hottest temp I can find for cooling decisions.

As I type...
67C on bottom of PCB directly below ASIC
61C reported by LM75

I IR gunned the PCB temp.
I could probbably find hotter but bottom of PCB's is inside my pentagon with trapped V8 bottle.
It's tight in there and the bottle is not a cooperative captive.

YMMV

wow tolip you really think outta the box when it comes to designing wc'in don't ya? Do you often have nightmares of leaks? or what it would look like if your whole setup failed all at once? boy i'm pretty sure there would be fireworks everywhere

not hoping that happens to ya Wink

and i'm sure your extra extra careful...wc'in to expensive for me to play with...but it sounds like your one busy busy man tinkering around with all those jups n neps...i bet i'd be in nerd heaven if i had your workshop area to play with...probably wouldn't know what to do with myself hehe
