Does anyone know what temperature probes they use? Is it the typical 10k Ohm NTC?

I happen to have such a 10k Ohm NTC temperature probe in my cooling water, and would much prefer to control the fans to keep the water temperature in check, instead of trying to control them based on the CPU die temperature. The fans roaring won't help if it's just one core being pegged by something, but in a warm room and all-core load they do need to spin fast.

Yes, I have one of these for that exact use case. I use this for my sensor https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CMR3CC2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b...

From what I understand if you're making fan curves from a sensor plugged into the device, it can operate independently. So you don't even need software support. Instead you could just set the curves in the nicer ui of the Windows app and leave it.

The commander pro comes with its own probes, additionally if you buy the XD5 or XD7 reservoirs, they come with a probe fitted to a G1/4 so you can probe coolant temperature.

I already have such a coolant probe in my loop, and would prefer to not open the loop (which, btw., is practically a as close to AIO as a custom loop can be while being worth the hassle of a custom loop).
