In the 8rda3+, they change the design to the traditional thermistor so that it touches the cpu back.
to tpeguin et al, sorry for getting off topic...

I said that about the diode for shutdown in the 8rda... What I mean by 'one pin' is that the AMD CPU's now have 462 pins (i think) and one of them is used to calculate temps of the cpu, not an insocket thermistor sitting under the cpu. Check THIS old thread.
