So, I have been noticing my video card gets really hot and blows hot air on my northbridge. I bought the Antec Super Cyclone slot blower to help get the hot air out of the case, but it hasn't come yet.
However, I took off the stock heatsink/fan on the chipset and put some AS5 on there to try and help. When I run Speedfan it says my northbridge temp is 98C!! Is this even possible? If I touch the heatsink it feels warm but not too hot, is the temp monitor thing broken?
I don't know what the temps were before I tried to apply the AS5, as I just found out about Speedfan and how to view my NB temps...
Any ideas?
