Thermal Sensor Placement

[HandsomeChow]

Need help to decide what component to monitor with my thermal probes and how to do it!

I own a Aquaero 5 LT and i have eight NTC thermistor cables as sensors

I currently decided to monitor VRM, Chipset, Air intake, Air exhaust, Case ambient, PCIe slot and DRAM.

There is one more sensor i have left and i don't know what to monitor with it. Any suggestions?

Second problem is i don't know what method i should use to secure the thermal probe and what position to place it in.

For VRM and Chipset, should i place it on the heatsink or at the backside? Which method would give me the most accurate temperature?

Back side of motherboard tray?? you pretty much have everything covered, and as for mounting you can use d a small amount of TIM with tape or use a little adhesive TIM pads for VRM heatsinks to attach eh sensor to get the most accurate temperatures.
