Installing a temp probe onto the side of the CPU

Do you think this will be accurate? I have never installed a CPU before, but I will soon, I was wondering if I would be able to attacth a temp probe to the side of the CPU (The side of the heat spreader with tape holding it), this should not affect cooling or anything.

Would this give accurate readings?

I might get 2 of these; http://www.coolpc.com.au/catal...18&products_id=147

1 monitoring CPU (installed as mentioned), and GPU.
Other monitoring internal ambient and external ambient air temps.
 
Yeah I say an article that had it underneath, taped to the bottom.

That's good and all but they had to dremel out a line in the soket on the motherboard. To hell with that.
