Where can I get Temperature Sensors w/ LCD Display? (Black preferabbly). I'm lost...

And, All I have to do is put a little wire thing in between my CPU and heatsink, right?

It will be inside a Lian Li PC-6077B ATX Mid-Tower Case.

just make sure its not between the actual chip and heatsink, as that would lead to overheating and quick! i put mine between them off to the side a bit. my case has an lcd panel built in to monitor temps of hd,cpu,and video card, really cool!

Not unless you plan on modifying your heatsink with some machine tools.

Read pages 37-40 of this pdf document for detailed instructions:

There is not really a good way to measure the cpu temps on processors with an IHS using any other method since most of the heat is transferred through a small portion in the center of the IHS. The outside edge of the IHS is about 5C cooler but is a safer place to position a sensor.

Here are some cheap models:
