I'm slapping together a box, and I bought an Enermax Whisper 365w that has a temperature probe. Where should I mount the probe? Near the CPU?

I'm using the ZALMAN CNPS6000-Cu "Noise-Free" CPU Fan Kits. Should I place it near that?

Thanks!!

well first-off, don't put it in the airflow, 'cause that'll throw off the probe's readings. Best bet is to put it near the heatsink's CPU block, but not on it so you can get a good reading of the exhausted air temperature, not the intake temperature.

Ahhh! It's 2003 and wait, whats this!? My computer didn't blow up! ... Well damn, there goes my new Athlon @ 333FSB and my inssurance claim... heheheh
