    have you read the manual for it? It probably mentions something about it in there. Perhaps it needs to be connected to the motherboard, perhaps it has a heat sensor that has to be hooked up. The manual should say something about it...

    well the weird thing is that the case didnot come with a manual. I have no idea why. but any ways there is a wire that could be the sensor, but i have no idea where that would get hooked up. Thanks so far...

    then look up the case manufacturer online, try googling for it. If its a name brand case it should have a website and a support section where you can download a manual

    if its a sensor it should be 1 wire terminating to a short copper?? stick that is very thin, it is possible to put it between the heatsink and cpu, or tape to heat sink

    i tried to find his case at the manufactures site and although i found the case there is no support section whatso ever so no such luck on gettin a manual and like deadcat said the sensor should be a thin copper strip bout inch inch and a half long and for the case temp i wouldnt get it to close to the cpu try to center it in the case somewhere my buddy just has his dangling in the center of his case
