I just installed an XP90, on an ABIT IT7 Max2v2 board and a Vantec Nexus Fan controler/thermal sensor. I am getting 18 degrees lower temps on the Nexus' thermal sensor mounted on the bottom of the XP90, right up next to the IHS, than I the MB reports. I have a second sensor I would like to put in the gap of the IHS, but the probe tip won't fit through the gap on the 478 seal:
I can get the plastic tab into the gap, but not the metal probe tip. I am thinking about using Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive to glue the probe with the plastic tab in the gap, so the probe is actually tip to edge with the IHS. Will this provide a better temp on the CPU, or is the edge of the IHS gonna give me the same result as on the XP90. I ask first because one I glue the sensor to the 478 P4 2.4B, it is permanent. Thanks.
