Default Temperature, fan and probe questions regarding 4870.

I have started folding with my GPU as well, and I am wondering about GPU-Z report; although GPU load is at 99% most of the time, temperature is no higer than 62°C, so I guess fan speed on 70% (as it is at the moment) is enough? I was expecting it to be at full speed, as well. (GPU is on the port closer to my power supply, so I was expecting higher temperature while it's at full load; interesting.)

I have an extra probe which I wanted to use for my GPU, so I can read temperatures on LCD poster; still, I haven't found a place where to put it. Wherever I've tried, I was getting ambient temperatures, so I am asking you guys - can you show me where to put that probe for real GPU temperature readings?

Thanks in advance.

Considering you are only hitting 62 C when your running at full load, I wouldn't worry too much about an extra probe to place on the GPU. Oh yeah and 70% seems to be enough, dont worry about it.

I'm planning to overclock it and, anyway, I have an extra probe.
