Thermal Probe Placement

Hello

I am planning to put together a new computer with an i7 920. The heatsink I plan to use is a Zalman CNPS9700 NT with the 1366 clip for it. Im also planning to have a fan controller with tempurature probes. My first question is what is the best place to put the probe to get a fairly acurate tempurature reading?

The second question is could the probe be attached to the heatsink with solder or thermal compound without destroying the heatsink or the probe or both?

Thanks

i think you should put on top of your 920 in the middle then put the heatsink on it

but useing programs to tell temp is still a better choice imo
