The Northbridge usually has a HS installed and sometimes even a fan also.
Southbridges are typically naked.

These chip don&#39;t really get overly hot, I&#39;m just into the cooling thing.

Actually, my southbridge chip got really hot to the touch, which is why im glad my new 8RDA3+ has atleast passive cooling on it.
u shouldn&#39;t "touch" any chips lol unless ur properly de-statics&#39;ed



damn u guys u have a hs on everything lol [/b][/quote]
Anything that puts off more heat than normal, should probably have one.
