Where would you recommend I place temp probes on the GA-990XFA-UD3?

Hi again!

Ok, just getting ready to slap the GA-990XFA-UD3 back into the computer case, but remembered I need to think about where I will place 4 specific temp probes within the case. In my Intel rig here is where I placed the temperature probes using the Scythe "KAZE MASTER ACE " 5.25" Bay Fan Controller- Black (KM02-BK):

Channel 1 CPU
Channel 2 Northbridge
Channel 3 Southbridge
Channel 4 RAM

I see an extra heat sink on this GA-990XFA-UD3 [is that the marvelous Marvel controller]?

Anyway, please give me some suggestions as to where you would place the temp probes on this new system.

As always, thank you very, very much!

Soar

I would skip the Southbridge and attach a probe to the mosfet heatsink located to the left of the cpu socket.
 
Slay,

Thanks for the reply. Quick question: do those MOSFET's tend to heat up more than the Southbridge's?

Example: on my Intel rig, the CPU is presently at 22C, NB is 36.6C, SB is 27.2C and the RAM is 26.4.
