Temp Sensor; Where to put?

[jasonwd]

I've just built myself a lovely X-99 Delux, 5930K, GTX980 Strix with a Noctua cooler in a Phantom case.

 

So all the fans are working and the CPU clocked to 4.5Ghz, but there is a little thermometer in the MoBo box that I can put somewhere. 

 

Where should I stick it?

How about somewhere inside the case, as far away from any components or fans as possible, so that you'll know the air temp inside the case?

maybe intake air temperature?

Check the mobo's manual? I assume it should tell you where it goes

This is probably a good idea; I assume I can tell the case fans to spool up when that sensor reaches a certain temp.

I'm afraid not. There are loads of sensor inputs though. All this makes Apple's engineering look pretty amazing. My Macs have a massive load of sensors that are all over the place; all controlled mysteriously by the BIOS.
