Northbridge Overheating

[atiVidia]

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

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.

if your hav&#39;nt oc imo your gettin carried away m8 a heatsink should be sufficient ..the only solution with out payin is relax the memory....

how could i relax the memory? [/b][/quote]
if you tweake&#39;d or set any options on aggressive reset back to default.the nouthbridge controlls the memory bandwith easin it should obviously chill abit....
