My case is a NZXT Guardian 921, it's got a little screen that shows the CPU temperature, but he connectors are these ones (uploaded images), and that's my MoBo

That first one is the temp probes itself you place that where you want to get your temp readings, in the fins of the CPU heatsink, VRM heatsink, Etc.

Those are no connectors, they are temperature sensors.

No backup, no pity

It's a thermal sensor, not a connector. I would recommend checking your cases manual for where to place it. Don't place the sensor between your CPU and your heatsink.

Personally I would put one in the fins of the CPU heatsink, make sure it doesn't interfere with the fan at all, and the second one as front intake unless you have a GPU in the system.

Can I put them on the back of the motherboard (just behind the CPU)

Yes you can do that since the probes are wrapped. just be sure to use electrical or kapton tape to stick it down into place since it will give the most accurate reading when in contact with the surface.

Just like the faulty board sensors, +150C or -30C xD
