I attacked my A7V with a dremel the other day. I'm doing a SocketA cooler roundup and wanted to measure the CPU temperature more accurately than the A7V's onboard hardware allows. I could slide a thermister up against the side of the core but I'm concerned about that moving around as I install and remove coolers. So I did this instead (click pics to enlarge):
 
 
The thermister is monitored by a DigiDoc5. More info in the upcoming comparison - I'm expecting a couple more coolers to arrive in the next couple of days, so the article should be early next week. Thought you might be interested in the meantime, though.
Note that I am in no way claiming to have invented this mod - I saw it on a cooler comparison we linked to a fair while ago but I can't find it in the news archive now. If you're thinking of doing it yourself.. obviously you are throwing your warranty out the window and there's probably a fair chance of mangling your mobo beyond repair. But it works fine for me.
