Howdy all ..

Wondering if anyone has a good strategy for connecting a thermal sensor, so as to monitor cpu temperatures.

I'm aware that one dosen't connect it to the thermal plate directly ... but ...

with regard to cpu monitoring ?

# How would you attach it ?


I figure, as the thermal plate is slightly raised, maybe, right up next to, but not on top of the plate, would be a good place.

Ordinary tape sounds a bit dicy to use too, as the adhesive would probably melt/leak over time. Possibly just a dab of past would be the better bet there.

Any ideas, much apprieciated :)
