The NF4 chip often runs warm plus it is hard to say where the temperature sensor is located vs the NF4 chip so the indicated temp may differ between mobo's.
I decided my NF4 was running hot based on touching the heatsink. The indicated temp was about 38C. I tried several approaches and...
It is possible for ethernet's auto speed sensing to get things wrong, as described here:
http://www.cites.uiuc.edu/network/autosense.html
One symptom is a lot of lost packets and very slow apparent internet speed (occasionally it works OK when autonegotiate gets it right). Another symptom is...

Speedfan only displays temperatures, it doesn't know what they represent. You can enter whatever you like as the ID for any temperature Speedfan is displaying.
See the page referenced earlier, and in particular the Configure/Temperatures Screen. On that screen, click the top temperature...
Speedfan finds all the sensors that could be connected to the 8712F, some of which likely don't exist so the readings are bogus -- the 127C is typical for that.
If your board is the rebadged Chaintech VNF4, the Speedfan setup is described here...
Have you run SpeedFan?
It can monitor and display the fan speeds, allowing you to determine which fan is changing speed. In addition, it can take over control of the fan speeds (if you configure it properly) which may settle things down.
SpeedFan will also monitor and display temps on...
No hard facts on how much heat the NF4 can handle but I use the NB47J on it along with a regular case type fan mounted inside the case to stir the air. Even a very low fan speed is enough to improve the cooling considerably. SpeedFan controls the CPU and chipset fans independently, where low...
If you use Device Manager, click on "Network Adapters", then double click on "nVidia nForce Networking Controller", and click on "Driver" you should see the driver info for the NIC.
With 6.70 loaded I see:
Driver Provider: NVIDIA
Driver Date: 4/6/2005
Driver Version: 4.8.2.0
etc...
One crude way is to check the individual driver versions (using Device Manager) against the drivers in the various releases as shown below:
nVidia Driver set vs Driver versions - except audio.

I ran into distortion of jpg's and response failures when browsing which I blamed on nVidia's ethernet or NAM driver. The response failures have been with me since I built the system but the distorted jpg's began when I installed 6.66 and continued with 6.70
However, Ethernet autosense can...
The issue with NAM varies from system to system. Most systems work fine (that's how nVidia is able to ignore the problem).
The most common complaint for NF3/NF4 systems is failure to respond when you click while browsing; clicking a second time works. This also manifests as a "No internet...
As I said in my earlier post: it MAY work. Yours works. Sometimes it doesn't work at 400, no one seems to know why.
This is the time to celebrate and then move on to the next problem :)
