External thermal sensor

Hey guys I'm looking for something to read my processor temperature that is seperate from my motherboard. A suspect the onboard sensor to be a little screwy. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

The nurse knows where to stick the thermometer.

I've had this thing for a couple months now, but I'm still unsure about where to place it. Currently, I placed it under the processor, directly under the core. I've seen pictures where people placed it under the heatsink next to the core. I was thinking about doing this, but it seems that a lot of factors would play on the temperature output, such as how well you set up the heatsink to absorb the heat, etc.

My question is, where is the best place to put the sensor?

TIA.

First of all that "Hairpin" sensor is hard to place on the die and get an accurate Reading. I use these "pinhead" sensors from Koolance and attach them on the edge of the die with a drop of AS thermal adheasive. It doesent interfear with the heatsink and touches ony the die.
