i have spent literally HOURS combing the web trying to find these things

i have a crosshair v formula MOTHERBOARD, which has 8 fan plugins, 4 of which have optional pins for heat sensors, which in turn allow the motherboard to control said fans that the sensors are attached to.

WHERE CAN I FIND THESE SENSORS!?!?!?!?!?!

they plug onto the board via pins just like the l.e.d.s of a case plug onto.

please provide a link to where i can BUY them if possible.

please help, and thanks!You should be able to adjust the fans in the BIOS.
I hope you mean "RPM sensor," which allows your computer to detect your fan RPM. I really can't find any info on a "heat sensor..."

Something like this?the HEADERS are for connecting thermosistors, or other temperature items.

For example, this. In that case, it's for measuring the temperature of water in a water-cooled system. there are others as well, that measure air temperature. I've no idea where to find those though. Usually they are included with the motherboard.Your manual should provide you on locating the mobo thermal sensors plus the 3 accessories plugs.
