Not very keen on modifying the radiator though.

Another way would be to simply glue a thermocouple or 2 to the radiator case or end caps..
Perhaps one top (hotter side) and one bottom. (cooler side)
Thermal adhesives are available if not very good. (low thermal conductivity)
i remember mixing Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive and plain Arctic Silver 5 at around a 50/50 mix.
This allowed me to glue heatsinks to the RAM of a graphics card, strong enough to hold them, but weak enough to twist them off if I wanted to remove them.
Mixing in AS5 also increased the thermal conductivity of this 'weaker glue' some.
