So I have an NZXT Source 210 Elite and an NZXT Sentry-2 fan controller, which comes with five temperature probes. One of which I have taped to the back of my graphics card, to (kind of) monitor temperatures there, but the other four are just hanging out in the drive bay. Where should I put them? And how should I attach them? The tape that comes with them sucks ass. Is it okay to use normal tape, or could that short stuff out? Thank you!

i would put one on the chipset, one on the intake and one on the exhaust, and i would change the one you have one the graphics card to one on the exhaust. why? cause you can already monitor your temp on the graphics card and the CPU so why not monitor those you can't already monitor? I would just use some tape that doesn't seem too conductive or some glue if you like to.

I would do the Graphics card, Northbridge heatsink, the VRM (Think that's what it's called), Intake, and exhaust . Correct me if I'm wrong on what the VRM is.
