Where do I put the probes? (I know what goes with what, but where exactly do I place the CPU probe, HDD probe and the System probe?)

System , somewhere in the case , probably where air isnt directly hitting it . CPU , on/near heatsink (dont let it get too near the fan .HDD - ?????????? I just have this one in my system as well ...

First, you do not want to put them between the cpu and heatsink. Doing that will not allow a solid "connection" with the thermal paste better the two components. That wing said, I placed them underneath the mobo where the cpu is located. Do not tape the probe to mobo. Just use electrical tape on the insulation of the cable at Tape it to the back wall. Beneath the mobo and have the probe angled towards the cpu. It won't be extremely accurate but it will be very close. For the HDD, you can use electrical tape on the insulation and rape it on the Hdd brackets after you've set and locked the HDD in the case. And angle it so the probe rests on the Hdd. As for the system probe. I placed it so the is just sticking inside the case through the holes used for the cable management. Have it placed as centered as possible for the most accurate temperature. The measurements won't be 100% as a digital probe would be (software that reads the hardware sensors). But it'll be close with a +-5 10 deg C.

Its a cd. You can look it up on Power probes web sight & down load the manuals if you want. Note: look it up by part numbers & this kit contains 3 of them offered as a package deal. Hope this helps.

Suppose to add itself. Because in order to make it work. You must power the hard drive.

Thank you. It's weird, I can find it under devices and hardware, but not under my computer... I guess it's defective

you have to go into admin tools, computer management, storage, disk management. this is where you setup the hard drive.

I had a two case setup for awhile. One case had my motherboard and controller cards and power supply and the other case had all my hdds including one rack inside. I bought some long sas and data cables to connect the two cases. I eventually built an open air case using wire racks and plywood.

Strange. When it came in, I found the drive as being alone and empty. I partitionned it in three separate parts for work purposes, but it's supposed to be here! You should contact MSI!

There is a hole in the bottom of its case. I placed it where I wanted it on top of the computer's case, marked the hole's location and bored a corresponding hole in the case - being sure to catch the metal shavings. Then, I bolted it in place. (I ran the drive cables up the back of the computer case where they are exposed and have been knocked loose.)

I've never used this feature, but I believe it refers to hooking up an external HDD to the USB port. The lame thing though is the USB input is on the front, it should have it in the rear so you could hide the USB stick/HDD in the glove box

The Klein should come with basic probes. These are used to allow a number of additional connections types and extensions I have found them quite helpful.

I have not had occasion to need a probe, but you might try this link. http://www.maverickhousewares.com/parts_and_service.htm

The probes I ordered did not come with instructions either. I went to the Amazon website and then to the manufacturer and viewed the instructions online. They worked really well.

I used the system profiler to check mine. I believe you can right click and select get info to see the specifics of the drive as well

Hmmm... I had the opposite problem when I put mine together. I found the data port (located in front left quadrant of mb), but discovered I needed to buy a molex to sata power conversion cable. to get power.

The system one you can can just tape to your power supply or hard drive/SSD. The graphics sensor and CPU sensor can usually fit in the fins of the heatsink. The sensor wires can bend so I usually put the end of the lead into the middle of the heatsink, under the fan, then tape it in place (they give you heat resistant tape strips). Do not be tempted to put it between the GPU/CPU and the heatsink. While you would get a more accurate reading, the gap that it would create would kill the effectiveness of the heatsink. Run a temp sensing program and you will see you are usually a few degrees off from the actual temperature but it is still great for easy monitoring. Just remember you are always going to be showing a few degrees cooler than actual temps. Also, the display says System/HDD/CPU but I use them for HDD/CPU/GPU as I would rather monitor my GPU temp than both HDD and System temp.

Looking at the board , look to the left of the two visible white SATA ports , positions 2 & 3 . Positions 0 & 1 are in an opposed position . They are sideways . I don't know the reasoning for this but I suppose because gigabyte wants you to use position 0 for the primary hard drive and position 1 for the secondary hard drive or primary cd/dvd drive. The two white SATA ports facing up are your secondary SATA ports for additional drives.

Its just a power run. If your psu has enough wattage it'll be fine. Look at the 4 pin power connectors....they're all pigtailed (runs). Explorer sees drives depending on sata/ide...has nothing to do with power connections.
