Hey guys, I'm soon to be purchasing a Bitfenix Recon fan controller, mainly because of my Bitfenix fans (I like uniformity) and the fact that it has thermal probes. My question is, where/how do I apply the thermal probes? I plan to put one for CPU, ambient, GPU, and near HDDs. I know for the ambient I should just put it somewhere near the top, and for the HDDs (I'm only going to have one probe to monitor 2 HDDs and a SSD) I'm just going to put it in the center of the three. But where would I put the CPU and GPU probes? Some say under the CPU, which I'm totally against as this is my first build and I don't want to risk bending the pins, and the other two choices are near the heatsink, or directly on the CPU. I'd like as accurate as possible a reading, ie no more than 2 degrees C error, but some say that putting it right on top could lead to hotter CPU temps. Is this true? Does it matter what CPU cooler I have? (A Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO) And as for the GPU, I don't know where to begin. Thanks for any help!

***I no longer need help, I figured it out***

BUMP! I really need help on this as I now have the fan controller and I don't know where to put the probes.
