i was thinking of wireing in heat sensors like the ice cap fans have on them, where can you but them ? i checked out nano systems and they sell them with the fan already, i would like to buy the seperately since i have the fans already.
thanks for the help.

The only ones I found a while back when researching that were inexpensive was sensors that weren't very sensitive to heat. Didn't turn them on until like 85 - 110 which doesn't fit well with our applications.

Good luck finding an OEM source, I'm sure it's out there but I couldn't find a very suitable one for our application that didn't cost even more than the icecaps just for the sensor.

I think a temp controller is a better option than the sensors anyways. Icecaps never actually turn all the way off.
