Inline 10k Temperature Sensor XSPC G1/4 inch matt black for liquid cooling

The XSPC Inline 10k Temperature Sensor G1/4" in matt black is a threaded inline thermistor designed for liquid cooling loops. It fits standard G1/4" ports and provides direct coolant temperature measurement when installed in tubing or compatible fittings. The compact, matte-finish housing protects the sensor element while keeping a low profile inside a loop, enabling integration with radiators, pump reservoirs, or dedicated inline ports for continuous temperature monitoring and system control.

Advantages

The inline design allows straightforward installation without modifying existing components, and the G1/4" thread ensures compatibility with common liquid-cooling fittings. The 10k thermistor provides reliable temperature response in typical PC cooling ranges, and the matt black finish reduces reflections and blends with most system aesthetics. Its compact form reduces flow obstruction while keeping the sensor submerged in coolant for accurate readings.

Suitable for

• Measuring coolant temperature in custom PC liquid-cooling loops
• Inline monitoring in reservoirs, radiators, or tubing runs
• Temperature feedback for fan and pump control systems
• Integration with temperature monitoring hardware or controllers that accept thermistor inputs

Key specifications

• Sensor type: 10k NTC thermistor designed for liquid temperature measurement
• Thread: G1/4" threaded housing for standard fittings
• Finish: matt black housing to reduce glare and match system components
• Form factor: compact inline design minimizing flow restriction
• Installation: intended for inline placement in tubing or within compatible fittings

How to use

Install the sensor into a free G1/4" threaded port on a reservoir, radiator, or an inline adaptor. Ensure the sensor’s sensing element is fully immersed in coolant for accurate readings and tighten the fitting to a secure, leak-free torque appropriate for liquid-cooling components. Connect the thermistor lead to a compatible temperature input on a motherboard, fan/controller unit, or monitoring device that supports 10k NTC sensors, following the controller manufacturer’s wiring and configuration instructions. After installation, verify readings in software or hardware monitoring tools and check for leaks before full system operation.

Recommendations

For best results, place the sensor where coolant flow is representative of loop temperature (for example, after the radiator or near the pump) and avoid installing it in areas with air pockets. Periodically inspect the fitting and sealing surfaces for corrosion or wear and confirm the monitoring device is configured for a 10k NTC thermistor to ensure accurate temperature reporting.
