Temperature sensor XSPC Inline 10k G1/4 inch — XSPC 10k inline temperature probe, black chrome

The XSPC Inline 10k G1/4" temperature sensor is a compact thermistor-style probe designed for monitoring coolant temperature in liquid-cooling loops. With a G1/4" threaded body and a black chrome finish, the sensor installs directly into standard G1/4" fittings to provide temperature data for system control, fan or pump curves, and logging. The 10k resistance characteristic matches common motherboard and controller inputs used in PC water-cooling and custom thermal management systems.

Advantages

This inline probe offers straightforward installation and compatibility with G1/4" fittings, enabling placement anywhere in the loop without altering tubing layout. The black chrome housing provides corrosion resistance and a low-profile appearance that integrates with modern build aesthetics. As a 10k thermistor sensor, it provides a predictable resistance-to-temperature response compatible with a wide range of controllers and monitoring software for reliable readings and automated control.

Suitable for

• PC water-cooling loops and custom liquid-cooling systems
• Temperature monitoring for pumps, radiators, and reservoir inlets/outlets
• Integration with fan and pump controllers or motherboard sensor inputs

Key specifications

• Sensor type: 10k thermistor-style temperature probe
• Threading: G1/4" male for inline installation in standard fittings
• Finish: black chrome housing
• Form factor: compact inline probe suitable for tight spaces
• Compatibility: designed for use with typical PC controller and motherboard 10k inputs

How to use

Install the sensor by threading it into a G1/4" tap, adapter, or dedicated inline fitting located at the desired point in the coolant loop. Ensure fittings are sealed to prevent leaks and that the probe is oriented so the cable is routed safely away from moving parts and sharp edges. Connect the sensor cable to the corresponding 10k thermistor input on a motherboard, fan/pump controller, or data logger. Calibrate or verify readings in the monitoring software if required by your controller.

Recommendations

Position the sensor where fluid flow is representative of the loop section you want to monitor (for example, inlet to a radiator or pump outlet). Avoid placing the probe in air pockets or dead zones; ensure secure fittings and periodic inspection for tight seals to maintain accurate and reliable temperature readings.
