on the new boards the thermal sensor is placed very close to the northbridge i believe. thus, when the northbridge outputs more heat, the surrounding area gets hotter too. doesnt mean that the nb itself is that hot tho.
my zalman gets hot quite often, and a thermal diode reading makes it out to be about 5-7° hotter than the CPU itself. its how these things work.
He doesn't answer anymore.
Perhaps his board blew up :ph34r:
Nice sig BTW, @ AtiVidia ! Cool B)
40° isn't hot and shouldn't feel hot. Your body temp is 37°.
50° isn't even extreme. If your system is stable then why worry.
Maybe just a fan added to blow towards the heatsink would keep it cool overclocked.
clear

if your hav'nt oc imo your gettin carried away m8 a heatsink should be sufficient ..the only solution with out payin is relax the memory....
if you tweake'd or set any options on aggressive reset back to default.the nouthbridge controlls the memory bandwith easin it should obviously chill abit....
