Default Temperatures

Hello,

As stated in my signature, I am getting two 8800GT's. Now I know that the ones I am getting, do not have a temperature meter nor do they have controleable fans. Which is why I took two VGA coolers, one for each.

But now, if I want to check temperatures manually has anyone got a suggestion on how to do that? Perhaps measure it under the "socket" (haven't got the proper name) of the GPU or is there any other place where I might get more accurate temperatures?

Not that I can care much about the exact temperatures but an indication that is not higher or lower then 3 degrees celsius of the actual temperature would be nice. The airflow and the added 120mm fan on each Accelero should do just fine, but for slight overclocking I don't like to throw away 260 euro's for two new cards.

Thank you in advance

You can put a temp probe / sensor on the GPU Core, well, next to it, that'd give you pretty good results.
