I would recommend putting the HDD sensor on the spindle motor part (the part on the underside with the circuit board, just put it between the board and the silver circle in the middle of the drive), the CPU probe on the VRM (where there is a row of capacitors, usually to the left of the CPU), and the Sys probe between the middle two RAM slots (entirely personal preference, but I like to monitor my RAM temperatures).
