also i only need to know where to put the flat sensor on the cpu..

You can install the flat sensor to the underside of the CPU and carefully route the wires through the pins. Use a piece of the thermal tape to hold it on. You then install the CPU.

Sounds screwy or at least I thought so but it works great.

Here's a linky for you to look at, the info your looking for is towards the middle of the page;

i was gonna do that but the wires are to thick to fit..

If they are too thick, then your only other option would be to stick the sensor in between the fins of the HS. I had to do this with an old Celeron overclock. I then ran tests to see what the temps were at idle, normal use and 100% use. the problem is that these temps are significantly lower than what the center of the processor actually sees. Recording relative baseline temps is very important.
