I'm a big confused as to what fan controllers you mean.
Are you talking on board or something you can buy?

Are you referring to the Thermal sensors that come with the fan controller?
In fact I have been meaning to ask a similar question, since I have brought the 3.5inch fan controller for my two Scythe AP-15 fans...
Where exactly would you place them?

The thermal sensors usually go betwen chip and heatsink as far as i'm aware mate.I maybe wrong but i can't see any other place they could go in all fairness,not to get an accurate temp reading anyway.
So is there any real relevance to the sensor since you can always download software which monitors thermal temps?
I understand that the sensors are critical when it comes to setting thresholds in the fan controller so when it get too hot the fans kick in (increase voltage), and when it gets below the set level voltage decrease and so on...
The manual guide says not to place it between the Heatsink and chip LOL

I just use system fan points,and they are usually accurate enough for me.

Well probably something like this.
Heat causes an electric current, this is detected by the controller, and it then automatically sets the fan speed, using a potentiometer.
