I just built a custom computer and (with the help of a friend) had no problems putting everything together and in the right place. There is only one thing either of us don't understand- my tower came with three heat sensors- one for the cpu, one for the video card, and one for the hard drive. We aren't sure where the correct places to put these sensors are, and the tower came with no documentation on such. Where is the best position to place these sensors to accurately measure each part's temperature? I'm probably making it more difficult than it should be, but I'd just like to do it right :). Any help is appreciated, thanks.

You've posted this all over the place. Try to stick to one post. This ain't an easy question to answer properly...almost easier to code a webpage than to explain it for different processors, chipsets, heatsinks, how to attach etc. It's late now and I need some sleep...I'll get a reply posted later today. I'm assuming you have a P4 and that makes the process a little more difficult for the cpu. For the video card, you can attach the sensor on the underside of the card where the center of the gpu chipset would be or on the heatsink to keep from taking the video card heatsink off...let us know what video card you are using; it may have a sensor built into the card. Tape the hdd sensor to the top center of the hdd...close enough to work ok. Processors like the P4 with closely spaced pins and heat spreaders (the postage stamp size hunk of tin on top) require you to position the sensor as close to the heat spreader as possible without interfering with the heatsink fit and applying some temp compensation to make up for not being able to place the sensor where it's most accurate. More to come after I grab some sleep. Skip
