you can always go by touch... if your carefull 
This was the way we checked to see how hot they were in the early days of this mod. Did you remove a heat plate covering the components on the pcb. If so can you put it back on if it does not effect how the pump sits.
If your card just had a stock heatsink and shroud with no heatplate over any part of the pcb then im not sure how the stuff could be hotter then before modding. Prior to modding the air blown onto the pcb had to pass through a heatsink full of fins. The air making it to the pcb was restricted and slow from passing through the fins and it was also alot hotter from removing the heat from the heatsink fins as it passed by. your getting the best airflow to the pcb its ever had.
I can monitor all the components on my pcb and the temps are the same or better than before modding the card. I did keep the stock heatplate covering the mid back of the card. I also kept the stock shroud and fans.
