Hey, I'm getting 2 Scythe Kama Thermo Digital Thermometer and I'm wondering where the best place to put the probe to monitor the CPU and GPU.

Temperature probe placement question.

Oh dang, those are old school. I didn't know they even make them anymore, well from my P4C days, I had it between the IHS & heatsink, closest to the edge of the IHS

Doesn't that limit heat transfer though?

Where do you plan on putting it then? That's the most accurate area to put a probe in, and it shouldn't affect temperatures much.
I just heard a lot that putting the probe between the chip and the heatsink reduces heat transfer, I'm planning on overclocking quite a bit and i need the chips as cool as possible. I'd like maximum heat transfer in case I don't get a G0 q6600 chip, is there a way to put the probe under the chip or does the side give ok readings?
