what is the proper way to mound a temp prob for the cpu, fsb, and vid? i assume you cant just stick it between the chip and clocks.....

Uhm, I'm not sure I'm understanding "between the chip and clocks..." but usually you can use a flat probe that touches the edge of the cpu core underneath your HS because the core is slightly raised.
For the gpu you can tape the probe to the back of the gpu. Neither of these methods are really going to give you truly accurate readings so don't take those temps as real core temps.

I have used the Compu-nurse in the same manner, tape the tip of the probe right to the edge of the CPU, GPU.
Much better than the insocket probe.

Here's the pic, just put the tip right up to the chip. The probe will only pickup the highest temp.
Try this link:

There is a picture of the probe attached on the cpu about half way down, click to enlarge.
Even this way is not going to be totally accurate, I would add at least 7-10C to have a good buffer.
