Setup goes as follows:
Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
AMD FX-8120 8-Core @ 4.1(stock 3.1) (Closed loop antec kuler 920)
HP 8GB DDR3 12800
ASUS GTX560 DCII TI 1GB 256-bit
Thermaltake Black Widow 850W PSU
Case: nzxt guardian 921 RB(blue) MID
Basically I noticed when going to a buddys house him and his brother both had northbridge coolers, there PC's are a few years older than my build(about 3years for my buddy and about 4-5 for his brother) Mine build just last year. I was wondering if it would be worth getting a northbridge cooler for my setup, I haven't checked temperatures via ASUS thermal radar under loads but it had me wondering about if it would be useful?
Here's a picture of the inside of my case to get the flow of my system:
Since you cant really see the northbridge in the picture about heres a picture of a motherboard(same exact one) in the same position your seeing mine the the first picture:
Figure i let the motherboard experts take a poke at this.
Also would it be a good choice to have a cooler on the southbridge?
Thanks for any help!
