heat sensor/case fan

[onrecess2]

I "finished" my first build. Two questions:
1) I have 2 temp sensors that just hang there. Where do they plug in?? I have a blue orb cpu fan, and was going to stick them with something (??) to the fins.
2) the mb has plugs for case fans. I also have a 4 fan manual controller in the case. I plugged the fans to both at the same time. Is that right (there is a second connection on every plug on the controller, I assumed you plug into the board.
Thanks! You guys rock!

1. Stick it to the metal closest to the core.

2. No, stick the fan plug in either the mobo or the fan controller. Not both. You don't need to know the fan speed if you have a fan controller. Look at the temps to determine how much speed the fans need.

Thanks! I'll unplug one lead on each. I kinda thought so because my fan controller barely changed noise level/fan speed.
And Gadgetnerd, if you mean a fan controller, I picked up 3.5 at comp usa for $20, you can get one with all kinds of heat sensors and lcd screen for $45.
