Hello everyone!

I'd like to get some sort of a probe measuring my CPU temperatures once I get my watercooling installed. Right now I have the probe lying flat ontop of the CPU fixed between the CPU and the HSF. It's reporting temps from 42 idle and 58 full load on my stock AMD HSF. Now I realize the HSF isn't making perfect contact because of the probe, but I was wondering which is the best way to measure temperatues on a 754 CPU with watercooling installed on it. I'm not only looking to make relative comparisons, but I'd also like to see actual CPU temperatures as accurate as I can!

Thanks!
