Hello Everyone, Welcome to Our DigitalDoc5 Web Page!!

When I Added My Second 120 Gig 7200 RPM Hard Drive I Started Worrying About
Heat Building Up and Possible Hard Drive Failure. After All, The Cost of Two
Special Edition Western Digital, 8 Meg Buffer, 7200 RPM, 120 Gig Hard Drives
Is Still Quite A Lot of Money (Even With the Two $110 Rebates)

At First I Thought of Just Going to Radio Shack and Getting One of Those Remote
Sensor Thermometers (Has a 10 Foot Wire With a Sensor on the End)
Then I Started Looking Around on the Net and Found the DigitalDoc5
This Just Might Be the Coolest Computer Protection Device Ever Created!

Simply Stated, It's an 8 Channel Thermal Sensor, Fan Control & Voltage Monitor
So You Get 8 Sensors to Monitor 8 Places in Your Computer, And 8 Fan Wires to
Monitor 8 Fans RPM  AND OR Control What Temp The Fans Start Up At!!
So Lets Say You Set Sensor #1 to Monitor Your CPU Temp and Set it For 100 F
When It Reaches That Temp, Fan #1 Starts Up, If it Continues to
Rise Another 5 Degrees An Alarm Sounds (Very Cool)
Tech Note: If You Are The Tech Type, You Could Hook Up One of  the Fan Control Wires
To a Relay to Shut Down the Computer If There is a Fan Failure When Your Not There!

Anyway I Have My Sensors Setup Like This:
#1 CPU Heatsink
#2 North Bridge Heatsink
#3 ATI RADEON GPU Heatsink
#4 Hard Drive #1 Heatsink
#5 Hard Drive #2 Heatsink
(Yes the Hard Drives Have Heatsinks)
#6 The Air at the Bottom of the Case (Where it Comes into the Case)
#7 The Air at the Top of the Case (Where it Leaves the Case)
#8 The Room Temperature Air Outside the Case at the Bottom

I Am Controlling 3 out of 4 Fans and I Am Going to Get Another Fan For My North Bridge
I Am Controlling the CPU Fan and the 2 Hard Drive Fans With the DigitalDoc5
The 64 Meg ATI RADEON GPU Heatsink Has a 5 volt Fan That I am Going to Replace
Because the DigitalDoc5 Only Controls 12 volt Fans (Could Step the 12v to 5v I'm Sure)

Below is a Animated Gif of the Temps With the System at an Idle (At Windows 98 Desktop)

Here is a Picture of the CPU (#1) and North Bridge Temps (#2) With the Fans Turned Off
And The System Doing Some Work, They Rise FAST, I Started the Fan Back Up When
The CPU Reached 105 F and the North Bridge Reached 110 F
(The North Bridge is Right in Front of the CPU Fan and Benefits From it)

My System is the Family Storage Server With 360 Gigs, Here Are the Specs.

Slot 1 PIII 1000
ASUS Mother Board With a 100 Mhz Front Side Bus
256 Megs of PC 100 Ram
ATI 64 Meg DDR AGP RADEON Video Card
Toshiba SCSI DVD/CD Reader
Plextor SCSI CD-R Burner
Toshiba IDE CD Reader
Acer IDE CD-R/W Burner
Three EIDE (Mode 5 Ultra ATA 100.0 MB/s) Special Edition
Western Digital, 8 Meg Buffer, 7200 RPM, 120 Gig Hard Drives
(Man Are They FAST !!)

Here is a Link to CRAZY PC OR CRAZY PC DigitalDoc5 Order Page
Where I Got Mine for $49.95 ($10 Cheaper Than Most Places)
I Called CRAZY PC Because I Had Questions About the  DigitalDoc5
The Lady (Susan Curtiss) Was VERY Nice and Got My Order Out That Day

I Hope You Have Enjoyed Your Visit Here!!
