Looking for control panel with CPU/GPU temp display

I'm looking for a 5.25" control panel that will display CPU and possibly GPU and MB temps. If it allowed fan control that would be an added bonus. Most of the temp displays I have seen use little probes.... not sure how you could use those to accurately display CPU/GPU/MB temps.

Anyone know of something like this?

Thanks in advance!
 
I use a Scythe 5.25" LCD unit, in which I just attach the probes to the CPU before I mount the HS, GPU (remove cooling assembling, attach the thermistor to the core with supplied tape, reattach cooling) and just attach another one to your motherboard wherever you feel you want to monitor the temperature

i'm not sure how there'd be any other way to do it
 
Thanks so much for the reply Reality.

My concern is that sandwiching that probe inbetween the heat sink and the CPU will degrade the effectiveness of the heat sink (because it won't be making complete and flat contact with the CPU) and that the probe won't be that accurate.

Do you also use CPU/GPU temp monitoring software and if so, do you find they report the same values as the Scythe control panel?

Take a look at this:

Note that it will communicate with a Logitec LCD keyboard to display the temps etc and it does this all without the need for probes (it pulls the values right off the temp sensors built into the CPU/GPU etc). I was hoping I could find a control panel that worked in a similar way.
