Drive bay temp sensor under CPU

As per Thermaltake's website, could I place the temperature sensor of a multifunction panel under the CPU?

I'm trying to find an alternate solution to determining my temps, seeing how mobos aren't very plausible (broken sensors, BIOS versions, different manufacturers etc). Would this solution be safe and/or reliable?


Incidentally, does anyone know of any fairly cheap panels that come with several temp sensors? Ability to adjust fan speed is not necessary, but 3-5 sensors would be excellent (case, CPU, VGA, RAM, HD).
 
It should work fine and 1 better option is to place the probe betwween the HS and Square esp. if it's small core.


Edit Logisys make an expensive 3 pt probe.

Wouldn't that create a "blind spot" in the heatspreader's thermal conduction?

Suzer you are making things more complicated than they really are!!

The answer is no harm will be done by what was suggested!!
 
I have a tendency to do that out of sheer cautiosness, but looking at some of those pics the contact area of such a probe seems to be relatively large. This could be a catch 22 in the sense that if I put it on the hot spot to get a reasonable reading, then it will do the most damage to heat transfer, but if I put it sideways then it will read lower temps.

Unless I'm looking at the pics wrong and the probe's size is negligible.



And that Logisys would be nice (call me stupid, but I'd pay ~$25 worth for it), they just don't seem to market it around here. 🙁
 
It's all give and take...if I had a socket A and alike with small cores then I would probe around it BTA their pins are further apart then some other sockets plus them logisys can be found all over The Net... Froogle it !

 
Well, the only Logisys products in the country are a few cases, cold cathode lights, fans and grills, no sign of the panel and I can't even find the local distributor. I prefer buying my hardware locally and not rely on any company's shipping... not to mention the cost they would charge for shipping to the end of the world.
 
Didn't realize you were across the Ocean...but sometimes Members around this side are willing to help for 1 Product
 
Anyone got any other recommendations for a panel with several temp sensors?


edit: the best I could find so far is the Vantec NXP-101 with 3 sensors.
