So your saying the one's not willing to make a simple socket mod are going to be more inclined to put together this probe? And by some miracle we are going to automatically accept that they did it right?
I think they would be better off just using the on board probe and soldering the wires from the reader to the output of it on the back side of the socket and push the probe to where it touched the bottom of the CPU. Probably be just as accurate and easier to do.
Or if people are that good at soldering they can remove the current onboard probe and use the one they would be using with the thin wires and solder it in place of the old and then use the holes the original left to run the wires through. But that would be considered moding the board which some seem not to want to do for whatever reason, in which case they need not be bothered to be worried about temps anyway because their running a stock AMD air cooler at default mobo settings.
