hey guys.. i must have told u already that im getting the coolermaster areogate II... it comes with sensors but the thing it doesnt come with is thermal tape.. and i want to buy everything on one site and this site... www.jab-tech.com does not have thermal tape =/ so i was wondering.. since thermal greese is sticky.. can i put a tiny bit under the processor where the sensor should b and hten put the sensor on top of that so it sticks up there... or can someone find me the link to where thermal tape is cause im blind =D lol wat should i do?

You don't need thermal tape to attach a thermal sensor. To attach the thermal sensor, [OPTIONAL]cut the little plastic peice off that's around the actual sensor[/OPTIONAL], put it right NEXT to the CPU core (as close as you feel safe putting it), tape it down, attach HSF. Or you can do the same except threading the sensor's cables through all the pins under the CPU and just sticking it on the bottom of the core (pressure should keep it in place, no tape needed).

Is threading it through like that a safe method? Couldn't you short out the pins?

any reg tape would melt/burn near your core...
super glue is too permanent, and the wires are coated with rubber for a reason, so that they dont short out anything (or eachother)
threading through the pins is a little tricky but works...just gotta make sure the processor is seated in the socket after.
