Was wondering where should I put the heat sensors? It comes with five, I was thinking one on the south and northbridge heat sinks but where else? should I just put two on each the north and southbridge and one somewhere else?

This is the case I have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352034

I already have a blu ray drive occupying the top slot, a big part of the reason I got this fan controller was because I think it'll make my case look cooler. And I want to control my fans and make my case more quiet. It already is quiet, but I want it more quiet.

It can control up to five fans, which fans should I control with it?

Aftermarket Zalman CPU fan
Aftermarket Arctic VGA fan
2 140mm fans in the top
1 140mm fan in the side panel
2 120mm fans in the front
1 120mm rear fan
1 120mm bottom fan next to the PSU
 
I had this one, here is my recommend.
1) The controller does look cool but the yellow tape is useless, you are better use the cable ties or other tape to fix the sensors because the tape is off only after a few weeks.
2) Use the automatic mode to control the fan speed, because even in 40% manual you will get some noise.
3) You have to connect the cpu fan into the MB, otherwise the PC will not boot because the PC think you don't have the cpu fan. If you want to make the case more quiet, then connect the 2X top fans, 1X side one, and the 2X front fans because you will hear the noise from those fans most likely.
