Default Where to place temp sensor....

I have this thing from walmart, its used for checking your inside house temp, and outside temp...

What i'v always used it for, is I have the outside temp probe in my resivoir, and the display (the display has a second sensor built in) I set on top of my case above the case fan thatb lows out the top...

However now imma put it inside, since my case is acrylic, I can just look inside the case for temps...

Should I stick it on top of my A drive which is about midway up the case? On top of my cd rom which is in the VERY top slot, on the left side of the cd rom mounts halfway up-all the way up?

Them are the three places it would be very visible, the top of the cd rom prolly being the best...

but I wanna get the best temp reading I can


btw, 2 case fans on the side towards the back blowing in, the very back fan blowing in, the bottom front fan blowing out, and the top fan blowing out and the psu blowing out.

You will want it somewhere there is constant air flow and not in a confined area of the case.

i think put it middle of case.Because if you put it on the top of the case it will show more than the case temp.Because hot air rises so it won't be a true measurment of temp.
