Ah, the master of meat-headed obfuscation and self-aggrandizement is back. Did I ask you how to point anything? The question was, and still is, where do you point your magic heat gun to get an accurate temp reading for a CPU? The fan mounted on the HS, the HS itself, the back of the motherboard tray, etc? Should the OP remove his HSF and get that great and accurate reading just before his processor explodes? There, I was kind enough to offer you some options. Now answer the question, please.
This forum is to offer choices.
Choices is it? For you maybe, being able to choose what utter BS you get to babble about. For normal folks, I think this place is more about simple communication and sharing experiences.
If one wants to rely on a socket or diode sensor, that's their forte.
Oh really? You weren't so magnanimous a few posts ago.
Well, I don't. So many threads have erratic readings stated, so you'll going to trust sensors? Crap. An IR temperature sensor is more trustworthy than anything you can come up with.
And I hasten to add that anyone who wants to point a heat gun at things so insulated away from a heat source as to be irrelevant and crow about ?accuracy? is free to do that as well.
I use a IR to take accurate readings, the same IR used by professionals.
Do you have any understanding of the fact that different tools work best for some applications and not others? :Q
My opinion is just as good as your's.
Wouldn't that depend on the subject matter?
Read the link before you try to flame anybody.
Don't you DARE try to lecture me about "flaming", you goon. Surely you haven't forgotten our first exchange. You know, the one where you mistook me for another poster and didn't even have the stones to TRY an apology, after what to mods call a "detailed attack."
Here's the meat of your product endorsement, sir:
Infrared pyrometers allow users to measure temperature in applications where conventional sensors cannot be employed. Specifically, in cases dealing with moving objects ( i.e., rollers, moving machinery, or a conveyor belt), or where non-contact measurements are required because of contamination or hazardous reasons (such as high voltage), where distances are too great, or where the temperatures to be measured are too high for thermocouples or other contact sensors.
Now dissect this, if you can, and show me where this sort of device would be applicable in measuring a heat source that's masked by several layers of C/W-altering material?
I will, of course, wait for your response, but the manufacturer has something to say about this condition:
The critical considerations for any infrared pyrometer include field of view (target size and distance), type of surface being measured (emissivity considerations), spectral response (for atmospheric effects or transmission through surfaces), temperature range and mounting (handheld portable or fixed mount). Other considerations include response time, environment, mounting limitations, viewing port or window applications, and desired signal processing.
If you now believe yourself right, let's hear it.
Whuh? Right about what?
I may not be the smartest person in your opinion but at least I work from facts.
If I wanted to express an opinion on your intelligence, I would have. Don't jump the gun. You've shown absolutely NO facts, dude. You're offering up your personal take on things, nothing more.
