Slk7/Smart Fan II

Yes, it should be placed before putting on the heatsink, as it will make it a lot easier...
You'll probably want to place the thermal sensor on the bottom of the heatsink, as close to the core as possible. If you were to put it right inbetween the core and heatsink, temps might be affected negatively. (You don't HAVE to use the thermal probe at all, but it does help a lot when you're idle and don't need the extra cooling and noise).

I agree with STAN03.
The probe should be thermal taped to the underside of the CPU, dead center of the core.
Both my systems are set up this way.
But, now that I think about it, Ffats suggestion should work also.

The Smart Fan II should come with the correct thermal tape.
Follow Thermaltakes instructions to the letter. They supply you with more thermal tape than you actually need for one application.
Have fun!

Ah ha!
Thanks Stan.
Guess I need to visit more often.
After saying that, I’ve gotta go.
I have a “to do list” from my wife.
We are trying to sell our house so we can move into a new one.
Stress is abundant here.
Laters.
